Massie Blocked from Running as Independent by 1920 Sore-Loser Law, Weighs Senate Write-In

After losing Kentucky’s Republican primary to Ed Gallrein, Rep. Thomas Massie cannot appear on November’s ballot as a candidate for the same office because of Kentucky’s 1920 sore-loser law. He could, however, run for a different statewide post, such as the U.S. Senate seat held by Mitch McConnell, potentially as a write-in, though that path faces deadline constraints and likely challenges.
