A legislature overrides a governor’s veto only with enough votes in both chambers: two-thirds of the seats, three-fifths in North Carolina and Ohio. Going in, Republicans had them in both chambers in Florida, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, and Utah, and in one chamber only in Iowa, New Hampshire, and North Carolina.
