The Republicans were unsuccessful in their attempt to take control of the Kentucky House. The Democrat leadership of the House have stated that if the Republican controlled state Senate sends them a bill that would allow Rand Paul to simultaneously run for re-election to the Senate and for election as President, they would not bring that measure to the floor for a vote. If that holds, the only way for Paul to try to keep his current job in the Senate and run on the same ballot for President would be to win a federal lawsuit declaring the state law invalid due to conflict with federal law. He may decide that the risk isn't possible reward for a run in 2016.
