COLUMBIA (AP) -- An attorney says his client's lawsuit to keep two Republican South Carolina nominees off the Nov. 2 general election ballot for failing to meet a filing deadline has been resolved.
A paperwork error by the State Ethics Commission led a woman last month to file a lawsuit saying attorney general nominee Alan Wilson and adjutant general nominee Bob Livingston should not be allowed on the ballot because they missed a state deadline to file a form disclosing their finances.
But Jonathan Holder said Monday the commission's executive director said in a sworn statement his agency had received both candidates' information on time and updated its website.
A judge had been scheduled to hear the case Wednesday.
