I take it that West Virginia doesn’t have a sore-loser law.

What's a "sore-loser law"? I never saw that term before. And what states *do* have it?

"Sore loser laws" prohibit a candidate who loses one party's primary for senate, for example, from running for that same office in the general election, either as a candidate for another party or as an independent. Just about all states have them.
