Bill would end elections for two SC constitutional officers
The South Carolina House approved a bill to amend the state constitution allowing the governor to appoint the education superintendent and secretary of state. The measure passed 90 to 30 after hours of debate, with critics arguing it reduces voter accountability while supporters note governance reforms. Governor Sanford seeks broader reforms including lieutenant governor election pairing and appointing adjutant general and agriculture commissioner, though the latter was dropped. Farmers urged keeping elected agriculture commissioner. Democrats split on the bill, with opposition stressing voter choice.
