Here we go...

Looks like the Assembly will attempt to override Doyle's veto of the voter ID bill today.

They're not in session right now, but if you want to listen to the debate online, go here: http://www.legis.state.wi.us/insession/assembly/index.htm

UPDATE - debate is going on now. I think a vote is coming up quickly.

UPDATE - I was right: they're voting now. And the result...61 ayes, 34 noes. Override failed.

Four Democrats voted with the majority: Ziegelbauer, Staskunas, Krusick and Nelson. Three Republicans and one Democrat weren't present - the Dem and one of the Reps "paired," which means their preference was recorded but their votes don't go in the final tally.
