“Kentucky law ambiguous on residency requirements”

AP: “Talk of Tennessee resident Ashley Judd running for U.S. Senate in Kentucky has turned up ambiguity in state residency requirements that a legislative leader says need to be cleared up.”

Maybe I’m missing something but it seems to me that any state law which would keep a candidate for U.S. Senate off the ballot for not being a current resident would be an unconstitutional qualification for office which would be struck down in the event of a suit challenging the requirement.
