FILE - In this Aug, 20, 2014 file photo, U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, a Republican, speaks to reporters after qualifying to run for the U.S. Senate in Baton Rouge, La. A handful of tight races in states with quirky election laws make for the headache-inducing possibility that Election Day will come and go without a deciding which party controls the U.S. Senate. And if that happens, brace for a fierce runoff election and possible recounts that could make for an ugly holiday season in politics and government. (AP Photo/Melinda Deslatte)

This photo taken Nov. 21, 2013 shows then-newly-elected Rep. Vance McAllister, R-La. waiting to be sworn in on Capitol Hill in Washington. McAllister says he's asking his family and constituents for forgiveness after a West Monroe newspaper published a video that it says shows the congressman kissing a female staffer in his congressional office in Monroe, La. McAllister, only in office a little over four months, attracted national attention because of his endorsement from the bearded men of the "Duck Dynasty" reality TV show. (AP Photo/J.
