The distinction between the 2 states is that WV has 5 EVs while NH has 4. Bush won EC with 271 votes. If he had lost any other state at all he would have lost.

Yes, and the fact is WV was as solid a blue state as you could find... Democrats took it for granted, I don’t think Gore even stopped in the state in 2000... and as such lost...

Much like 2016, they didn’t see it coming.

Their war on coal, and taking the state for granted cost them the White House.

As I said, in an open election WV had not voted R for president since 1928!.. Only exceptions were R presidential re-election that were all landslide blowouts.
