COLUMBIA (AP) -- A South Carolina paralegal is questioning whether Alan Wilson should be on the general election ballot for attorney general.

Democrat Nancy Seufert's lawsuit filed Wednesday says Republican Wilson failed to meet a state deadline to file an ethics disclosure form and that the state GOP should have never allowed him on the ballot. Her lawsuit also says Republican Bob Livingston didn't file his papers on time.

Seufert, who is from North Charleston, is suing Republican Party Chairman Karen Floyd because she was responsible for ensuring candidates met qualifications to be listed on the ballot. That includes filing forms with the State Ethics Commission.
