Hitting The Books

Focusing on the Secretary of State of South Carolina's Wikipedia page is a bit of a struggle. I have major points I want to research, but finding legitimate sources are a bit tough. I tried checking over the sources listed in ballotpedia to try to find a direction to lead me to more information, without much luck. I think the main focus I can find for this article is about the positions this office holds and its description. Scstatehouse.gov provides a nice organizer I can use as guidance. Which may or may not provide 1000 words. I have and will continue to search Cooper for articles and books. Hopefully tomorrow I have time to talk to a librarian to find leads to something more to work with. It would be nice to list the former office holders and provide basic descriptions of each, like their political party and years in office. My ethos are pretty weak at the moment, considering that I can only provide two legit sources. Also I ran into trouble trying to decipher numerous amounts of acts and laws. May I have tips for what I should look for?

  1. You wrote this, "It would be nice to list the former office holders and provide basic descriptions of each, like their political party and years in office."

    That's a really good idea. You can likely find that information in a SC history book. Go to the library and see what you can find in the SC history books there. After you do that, let me know if you are still concerned that you may not have enough information to complete the assignment. I'm happy to help.

    You may want to skim these: http://www.scstatehouse.gov/reports/aar2010/e08.pdf (an updated from the one you found).
