RALEIGH, N.C. --

With the help of five House Democrats, the Republican-led Legislature has voted to override Gov. Bev Perdue's historic veto of the North Carolina state budget.

A coalition of Republicans and a handful of Democrats approved the override by a 73-46 vote just after midnight on Wednesday. That's just enough to meet the three-fifths majority required to overturn Perdue's veto Sunday of the budget that spends nearly $19.7 billion for the year beginning July 1.

The override clears the path for the Republican-penned bill to be enacted later Wednesday, despite Perdue's repeated and forceful objections.
