RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The Republican-dominated North Carolina legislature has swept six vetoed bills into law. The House and Senate completed the efforts on Tuesday following a succession of votes with margins large enough to overcome Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s formal objections to the measures. The measures include the annual farm bill and one that bars state government activities that promote what critics liken to critical race theory.

The overrides exemplify the political muscles of Republicans after electoral seat gains and a House Democrat’s party switch gave them veto-proof majorities this spring.
