Voter participation puzzles S.C. officials
South Carolina's voter participation during the past two
presidential election years has ranked at or near the bottom
nationally, and state election officials are not sure they have
an explanation, according to a report published Tuesday ' y
the Greenville Piedmont.
South Carolina's voter narticination was the worst in the
nation in 1980 and fourth-worst in 1984, according to a
Washington-based election study, according to The NonVoter
Study 1984-1985 done by the Committee for the Study
of the American Electorate, a non-profit study group in
Washington.
The apathetic showing drew a sharp reaction from Gov.

CBS won't push state law
limiting corporate takeovers
By Associated Press
CBS has agreed not to push enforcement of a South
Carolina law limiting takeovers without giving Turner Broadcasting
Systems two days notice, says one of Turner's
attorneys.
Turner's ^outn L-Sronna attorney, oicve iviurrisun, saiu
Monday that CBS has agreed to give Turner 48 hours' warning
before trying to enforce a South Carolina law that could
jeopardize his efforts to acquire the nation's to'p-ratcd TV
network.
CBS attorneys were scheduled to appear in federal court
Thursday to explain why a South Carolina law on takeovers is
constitutional and should be enforced. That hearing now has
been canceled, Morrison said.
Turner, owner of the Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting
System Inc., last week sued South Carolina Secretary of State
John Campbell, claiming the A
