Senator Daniel Hall has left the Democratic Party, flipping the West Virginia Legislature entirely into the hands of the GOP, according to a source in the state's Republican Party office.
The party affiliation change comes after a deadlock in the state Senate where Republicans and Democrats each had 17 members as a result of Tuesday's election.
The switch was first reported by The Charleston Daily Mail.
Hall served in the West Virginia House of Delegates from 2008 to 2012. In 2006, he unsuccessfully ran for the House of Delegates as a Republican.
Hall's counterpart in the Senate's 9th District, Democratic incumbent Mike Green, was defeated in Tuesday's election by Republican Jeff Mullins.

BTTT.
Celebrate, Mountaineers!
And to think they were once a Dukakis state.
West VA is now a Red State.
GOP legislature, all GOP House delegation, one of two US Senate seats.
And this was a historically Democratic state!
I hate these disingenuous frauds! This bastard just wants to be on the winning team! I’d tell him to to f—k himself! He’s Just a northern version of Charlie (Mr. Orange Skin) Crist!
More defections of soon to be RINOS are expected
Ha Ha Ha!
FSCK You, demonicrats!
Flip floppers are rarely motivated by principle.
I despise people who betray others. What’s to say he won’t change his party label when the wheel turns again?
I have no use for such people in politics or anywhere else in life for that matter.
Remember how it felt, with long gas lines, and the 444 days in Tehran..? And then the agony of Desert One?
THAT, I think, is right where the libs are, about now...
Jim Jeffords, courtesy telephone please. Jeffords, courtesy phone.
Wonder if Manchin is thinking about doing this.
Agree. No way should either party ever trust this guy’s word again.
GOP gets WV Senate with party switch (along with House) for first time since 1928 elections.
I agree with you. What’s the name of that old traitor guy that kicked the bucket a few years ago? I think he was a senator from Pennsylvania.
If Manchin is thinking of switching, he can pound sand. He’s a backstabber. Some of these democrats in Charleston should have switched parties years ago ... they vote like Republicans.
Magic bullet Spector
and there was Jumpin' Jeffers too
Yup. Didn’t Milton say the deepest pit of Hell is reserved for traitors? Well he’s dead now and I have a hard time imagining that the abortion lover is now singing with the Angels.
Phil Graham also did a switch from D to R but requested a special election. He did it the right way.
Congratulations, Mountaineers!!!
