Patterson defeats Ryberg in race for South Carolina treasurer
Republican candidates fared unevenly in South Carolina on Tuesday with Dem Grady Patterson defeating Republican Sen Greg Ryberg for state treasurer. Patterson secured about 52 percent with 98 percent of precincts reporting, keeping the four statewide GOP offices largely in Republican hands while Democrats faced losses in the governor and comptroller general races. Ryberg, a state senator since 1998, framed the race as modernizing the office in a column in The State, which Patterson brushed off as age criticism.
