Kentucky moves to allow Senate, presidential run for Paul

Published August 22, 2015 9:22pm ET

More than three quarters of the state party voted Saturday to move from a primary system to a caucus system, a change that will bypass prohibitions on Paul’s name appearing twice on the same ballot, according to Politico.
