Do you Pennsylvania posters know the answer to this? What is the required legislative vote for overriding the Governor's veto in Pennsylvania? Is it 2/3 or a simple majority? I'm finding conflicting information.

----
edit: It actually turns out 7 states have the simple majority override for the Governor's veto: http://www.nga.org/files/live/sites/NGA/files/pdf/BOSTable3.16.pdf

They are Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania (!), Tennessee, and West Virginia.
