Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has vetoed a bill that would allow immigrants without legal status to get driver's licenses. But the legislature gets the final word.

Supporters have the votes to override a veto from Baker, but he did it anyways. The governor said, in part, that the bill could offer a pathway for voter fraud. Matt Murphy of the State House News Service walks us through the issues.

Matt Murphy, State House News Service: The governor wasted little time vetoing this bill once it reached his desk, less than 24 hours later on Friday, sending it back to the legislature with a veto.

This is just a cheap political trick.  He's goes on record as against giving illegals licenses knowing full well his "veto" will be overridden.
