"Republicans and Democrats, black ind white, men and women, young and ?ld, came together tonight and electid a new team," he said. Blacks overwhelmingly voted igainst Beasley, with 90 percent supjorting Hodges, according to exit polls, lodges also pulled 38 percent of white 'oters, cutting into Beasley's numbers. "I think certainly blacks have turned tut in large force for the Democrats, >ut that would not be sufficient to elect i Democratic governor," said political inalyst Earl Black. "It was the black vote that won the ilection," said NAACP executive comnittee member Kent Clore. Beasley, who tried desperately tot to make the election a referenlum on the lottery, was forced tc say igain in mid-October that he would not tand in the way of a vote, though he vould continue to oppose a lottery. "If Republicans and Democrats will ay aside partisan differences and fous on what's good for South Carolina, his state will knock on the 21st cen ury door unlike any otner state in America," Beasley said in his concesion speech.

AMENDMENTS ontinued from page 1 The Legislature must still ratify 'uesda/s vote before the provision is emoved from the constitution or any of he other changes that were approved iecome effective. The Victims Rights amendment was oo close to call, with opponents to it sading by fewer than 16,000 votes out f almost 850,000 cast with 94 percent f the precincts reporting. The amendment would give legislators he leeway to exclude victims of some rimes from a requirement they be notified f legal developments in their cases. Those backing the change said Lotifvine victims in everv case would ?/ o - - - ? lankrupt the state. Opponents said the hange guts the bill of rights that voters ipproved adding to the constitution two rears ago. A proposal to permit counties to create ax districts and sell bonds to finance mprovements and encourage edevelopment also led with 58 of the 'ote. Opponents had said schools could iuffer because any tax revenue increases vould go to pay off bonds, not to support ichools. 72 percent of voters approved a neasure allowing public college mdowments to be invested in the stock narket. Colleges want the higher returns on nvestments the stock market can provide.
