October 16, 2007
Columbia, SC- South Carolina Democratic Chair Carol Fowler released the following after Tuesday night’s state Democratic Party Executive Committee meeting.
"The South Carolina Democratic Party will request a waiver from the DNC in order that our presidential primary election can be held on Saturday, Jan. 26, 2008, without violating DNC rules. The South Carolina Democratic Party will like to extend an invitation to South Carolina Republican Party Chair Katon Dawson to join us on Jan. 26 so that both parties can hold our presidential preference primaries on the same day. South Carolina’s Democrats and Republicans have an opportunity to save state taxpayer dollars if we come together and vote on the same day."
