This time in Florence County. The State doesn't seem to have anything on this story.

From what I gather, the Republicans in Florence County got the same bulletin as everyone else--the Supreme Court ruling about filing papers (see above). Only they decided to keep their candidates on the ballot. The Democrats there are suing. The argument, apparently, is that since these candidates are running unopposed, they're practically in office anyway ... which means they don't have to file the papers because they're already incumbents. Huh?
