South Carolina: State Republicans announce plan ballot initiative
South Carolina Republicans will unveil plans for a ballot initiative as they deal with questions about spending. State party chairman Karen Floyd’s news conference on Wednesday comes as Republicans try to generate more interest in their party’s June 8 primary. GOP candidates are vying for the state’s top political jobs with no incumbents running for governor, lieutenant governor, treasurer, attorney general and state education superintendent. Meanwhile, the party has primaries for all four of the U.S. House seats it holds and a primary for U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint’s seat.
