Senate Majority Leader Damon Thayer sponsored a bill during the last legislative session aimed at ensuring U.S. Sen. Rand Paul can appear twice on Kentucky's ballot if he runs for president. Paul has already announced that he will seek another Senate term in 2016.
Thayer told The Courier Journal that Paul told him not to bother with the legislation after Democrats held onto the House in last month's election.
Paul adviser Doug Stafford says Paul is weighing his options.
Some possibilities include a court challenge, asking the state GOP to change its rules and trying to move the primary date.
