November 4th Ballot Questions

(WOLO) COLUMBIA,S.C., — COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) _ Voters are being asked to decide two questions on the Nov. 4 ballot that would change South Carolina’s Constitution. The first question asks voters to decide whether nonprofit organizations should be allowed to hold a limited number of charity raffles. At present, the only legal raffle allowed in South Carolina is the state lottery. The second question asks voters to consider whether the governor should appoint the state’s adjutant general. South Carolina is the only state in the nation where the head of the state’s National Guard and its military department is chosen by popular ballot. The chairmen of the state Democratic and Republican parties have joined forces to urge voters to approve the adjutant general proposal. (Source: Associated Press)
