Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) Says She'll Keep Rand Paul from Running for Two Offices in 2016

Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is threatening to ask courts to stop Republican Rand Paul from running for the Republican presidential nomination and re-election to the Senate at the same time.
"The law is clear. You can't be on the ballot twice for two offices," Grimes, the Democrat who challenged soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell this fall, told WHAS in Louisville.
Her comments came in Grimes' first interview after losing by 15 percentage points to McConnell. Republicans in Kentucky are pushing to change the state law to allow Paul to appear on the ballot twice, but Democrats who control the statehouse have objected.
Grimes said as the state's chief election officer, she won't be "bullied" by Paul.
