Update 1:32 p.m. CST
Politico reports that Sen. Paul's team believe they may have found a workaround to the law preventing the Bowling Green Republican for running simultaneous campaigns in 2016.
Original Associated Press story:
The Republican tidal wave that swept Democrats out of office nationwide didn't solve U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's potential quandary in Kentucky.
The Tea Party favorite could become entangled in a state election law if he runs for president and another Senate term in 2016.
Legislation aimed at tweaking the once-obscure law to ensure Paul could appear on Kentucky's ballot for both offices simultaneously easily passed the GOP-led Kentucky Senate this year. But the measure died across the Capitol in the House, where Democrats are in charge.
Democrats hung on to their House majority despite a strong GOP challenge in this month's election.
That's left the first-term senator and his supporters looking for other potential options.
