Election eve accusations fly in South Carolina race
South Carolina Republicans and Democrats traded charges on the eve of the vote. Democratic chairman Donald L. Fowler accused the Ford and Buyck forces of a charade to intimidate voters, while Harrison, Ford Committee director, said the claim was ludicrous and tied to election irregularities in the 5th and 6th districts. Buyck declined to comment, noting he would keep his office open per U.S. Attorney General Edward Levi’s direction.
