South Carolina elections officials on Thursday said Jeremy Walters, a candidate for Fort Mills newly formed S.C. House District 26, will have his name on the Nov. 6 ballot if he sends them copies of his properly filed candidate paperwork. <\/p>\n
Walters is running as a Libertarian in the general election. <\/p>\n

Felder planned to file Thursday to have her name added to Novembers ballot as a petition candidate. <\/p>\n
