Democrats were unswayed by Republican arguments, leaving them short of the supermajority vote required to bypass the governor.
An effort in Louisiana to overturn Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards' veto of a law banning transgender athletes from school sports failed Wednesday by two votes, a major loss for Republic-led efforts to enforce the law in an unprecedented veto session that has so far been without overridden bill rejections.narrowly voted to override the veto, but the House failed to gain the two votes it needed to reach the two-thirds majority required to bypass the governor.
Republican-led efforts to reverse Edwards' spurning of other measures — including a bill to loosen the rules for carrying concealed handguns in Louisiana — also failed to gain enough support for passage. But the House vote Wednesday was 68-30. It needed 70 votes to pass. The Senate on Tuesday voted 26-12 to override the bill rejection, the bare minimum needed for the override. Those votes were fewer than the support the bill had when it originally passed, but Edwards put a strong effort behind sustaining his vetoes.
