>>> What I find most amazing and disconcerting is that there are over 30,000 citizens living in the small state of WV that voted for Cruz/Kasich. <<<
This figure may reflect a high percentage of early voting/absentee ballots that were cast while both candidates were actively campaigning. Even further down the ticket, about 14,500 votes went to the following candidates:
Ben Carson 4,397
Marco Rubio 2,895
Jeb Bush 2,298
Other 5,152
So- that’s around 45,000 votes Trump can pick up in the general election. Plus, votes from all of the people that cross over, people that were not registered in time, etc.
WV vote totals-
Republicans: 202,880
Democrats: 241,016
