NORTH CAROLINA -- Even with a small protest at the legislature Thursday, the Voter ID bill now heads to the governor after getting final approval from the senate.

• Democratic senators did make a last ditch effort to table the vote today
• The legislature is not addressing voter fraud with the current bill
• Fifty-five percent of North Carolinians voted in favor of the constitutional amendment

Democratic senators did make a last ditch effort to table the vote today. They argued the investigation into irregularities in the ninth congressional district is on-going could necessitate a special election.

The legislature is not addressing voter fraud with the current bill.

"You promised the people of North Carolina that if they voted for voter ID, you would secure our elections," said Senator Terry Van Duyn. "What the crisis in Congressional district nine demonstrates is that actual voter fraud is more sinister."

Thirty-four other states already have some form of voter ID. Fifty-five percent of North Carolinians voted in favor of the constitutional amendment during the mid-term elections.
