GOP Accuses Democrats of Video Gambling Slush Fund
Republicans allege South Carolina Democrats use a federal loophole to collect untraceable donations from the video gambling industry. The State reports the party moved 200000 from administrative to public campaign funds this spring, with over 317000 transferred since January. Democrats say Republicans chase money and lose influence in statewide races.

Senate Democrats reap video poker donations in SC
In South Carolina, Senate Democrats piled up more than $61,000 from known video poker interests in the three months ending July 10 following a failed gambling ban. The total raised by Democrats reached about $212,000, while Republicans collected $63,276. Fourteen senators who backed Beasleys gambling ban fight received at least $13,000 in May and June, with Senator Bill Mescher cited for outraise after inviting operators to a May fundraiser at state GOP HQ.
