KY law blocks Massie from returning to the ballot after primary loss
TL;DR Summary
After Rep. Thomas Massie lost the Kentucky 4th District GOP primary, supporters floated write‑in or independent campaigns, but Kentucky law bars running in the general for the same office after a primary defeat; Massie could still pursue a write‑in for the U.S. Senate if he files a declaration by Aug. 24, but cannot run as a write‑in or as an independent for the 4th District due to sore‑loser and party‑registration rules.
