High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! North Carolina, traditionally associated with the Bible Belt, was the only state on the East Coast without a lottery. The issue divided lawmakers and the public alike. At the time, the opposition of nearly every Republican and a small minority of Democratic lawmakers (those of the progressive faction) made the passage of a lottery unlikely. These groups denounced the lottery as a regressive tax on the poor. However, on August 30, 2005, two lottery opponents (Harry Brown, R-Jacksonville and John Garwood, R-North Wilkesboro) had excused absences. With this known, a special vote was called and the vote tied 24-24. Then-Lieutenant Governor Beverly Perdue cast the tiebreaking vote, signaling the way for Governor Easley to sign it into law. The vote would have been defeated had the absent senators paired their votes.
