According to vote tallies released on Friday, only 12 of 39 senators and 35 of 104 House members voted to avoid sessions to overturn Gov. John bel Edwards (D-La.) recent vetoes.<\/p>\n<p>Edwards rejected two bills in particular that rallied legislators to support the session. The first was a measure banning transgender athletes from competing on school sports teams of their preferred gender. In addition, the Democrat governor tossed a bill allowing residents 21-years-old and older to carry handguns without a permit.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">For the first time in Louisiana history, the Legislature will hold a Veto Override Session.
