I'M MIKE CHERRY. IT WAS VERY CLOSE VOTE. WMUR’S RAY BREWER IS LIVE IN CONCORD WITH THE DETAILS. RAY: IT WAS THE NARROWEST OF MARGINS. WITH 247 MEMBERS VOTING IN FAVOR OF OVERWRITING THE VETO AND 123 VOTING TO SUSTAIN, HOUSE MEMBERS OVERRODE THE GOVERNOR’S VETO OF THE BILL. THE VOTE CAME AFTER PASSIONATE DEBATE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE, A DEBATE THAT COST 20 LINES. SUPPORTERS OF REPEALING THE DEATH PENALTY TALKED ABOUT HOW INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH AND HOW ULTIMATELY THE DEATH PENALTY DOESN’T WORK, MALL THOSE OPPOSED TO SAY THAT THE EXCESSES THAT OCCUR IN OTHER STATES IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS HERE. >> THE NEW HAMPSHIRE VERSION OF THE DEATH PENALTY IS VERY NARROWLY DRAWN. IT IS RESERVED TO ONLY THE MOST HEINOUS OF CRIMES. OUR DEATH ROW IS NOT FILLED WITH PEOPLE. >> DEATH PENALTY DOES NOT WORK. IT DOES NOT WORK FOR VICTIMS, IT DOES NOT WORK FOR SOCIETY. IT IS TIME TO GO. RAY: THE OVERRIDE EFFORT HEADS TO THE SENATE, WHERE IT ALL 20’S IN ADDITION WELCOME 60 VOTES WILL BE NEEDED -- 20 SENATORS SHOW UP, 16 VOTES WILL BE NEEDED TO OVERRIDE THE VETO.
