DECEPTION WATCH:Lawmakers OK Church Raffles, but Not Church Poker

COLUMBIA, S.C.-South Carolina voters would decide whether to let churches hold raffles under a proposal a state Senate panel has approved, but church casino nights aren't as lucky. The Senate Judiciary Committee agreed Tuesday to legislation that would let voters decide in November whether to allow churches and community-service or charitable groups to hold raffles twice a year. The state's lottery law now bans them.A bill allowing South Carolina churches and other nonprofit groups to hold gambling nights was defeated on a 13-8 vote.
