Republicans have already taken control of the WV legislature. KY’s has been delayed to switch over, partly due to extreme Dem gerrymandering in the House. The GOP took the State Senate there back in 2000.
Republicans in West Virginia have control because big daddy Byrd isn’t there to give the state any more goodies plus the coal mines are dying out thanks to ZeRo’s insane policies. Darnest thing to it was the UMW was endorsing ZEro back both in 2008 and in 2012 despite what he was saying he was going to do in regards to coal mining industry. I Would give anything if Buckharless was still alive he would have made one hell of governor in West Virginia.
