SC voters OK constitutional right to hunt question

Tuesday, November 2, 2010



COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina voters say residents should have a constitutional right to hunt and fish.

The question on ballots won overwhelmingly today.

Proponents argued the amendment is needed in case gun control supporters eventually try to restrict the sports.

Another proposal asks voters to determine if a secret ballot is a fundamental individual right in deciding whether workers are represented by a labor union. The measure is an attempt to pre-empt stalled federal “card check” legislation that would make it easier for workers to unionize through a signature drive.

Two other ballot questions deal with budget reserve funds.
