Measure on ballot

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

SC has two amendments on the ballot, neither of which would be likely to affect the presidential race even if SC were a swing state.

Amendment 1 allows bars to dump minibottles in favor of free pour.  It'll probably pass.

Amendment 2 allows corporate agribusinesses to get the same advantageous property tax assessments that family farms get.  It hasn't gotten much attention, so I have no idea how it will do.

SC is the only state that still requires minibottles.  Because of their size (50 ml = 1.7 fl oz) they make mixed drinks in SC more potent than they are elsewhere. They also make mixed drinks that use more than one variety of liquor rediculously expensive, so most bars don't bother with anything complicated.  MADD and the restaurant owners both support this amendment.  The biggest opposition is coming from the liquor warehousers.  They make a good deal of money off of minibottles and they have a sunk investment in the space used to store the bottles.

SC usually has a couple of amendments on the ballot each general election.  We don't have the initiative process, but our process for amending our constitution requires a vote of the Assembly, a referendum at the next general election, and a vote in the Assembly as elected by that same general election.  I don't really care about that one so I may abstain.  Since I am in favor of eliminating and not extending the scope of the preferential assessment rate on agricultural property, I will be voting against the second.
