The Washington Post has issued a clarification and updated the headline to an article that took a claim by a Democratic governor and state representative and ran with it with little evidence supporting the claim.

The story claimed that North Carolina Republicans “took advantage of” the absence of Democrats in the state, who were at a Sept. 11, 2001, remembrance ceremony, to override the governor’s budget veto on Wednesday.
