A Republican candidate for State Senate in South Carolina expected to be the only Republican running for her particular seat. However, the party extended the deadline for candidates to file in her race, so then two more Republicans filed. The candidate has sued the Republican Party to eliminate the two candidates who filed during the extended period. The South Carolina primary (for office other than President) is June 12. The candidate who filed the lawsuit is Amanda Somers. She is running in a Greenville area seat.
