The WV Supreme Court wouldn’t prevent the Gov. from calling a special primary and having the seat be filled at the Nov. general election, but neither will it (if it follows it’s perverse precedent) mandate that the Gov. do so, and obviously Dem Gov. Manchin is not going to want to give the GOP the chance to win the seat this November.
That's an interesting point. The case I referenced really doesn't touch on the subject, and I'm not familiar with WV law enough to render an informed decision. On it's face, it would be difficult to believe they would enjoin the governor from doing such, but I really don't know.
