Some Republican officeholders in West Virginia are already revving up campaigns for governor in 2024. But first, they have to sort out what happened in 2020.
Years after Democrat Joe Biden was declared the White House winner, Secretary of State Mac Warner and Attorney General Patrick Morrisey say they remain concerned his victory was not legitimate. They persist in those views despite repeated investigations, audits and court cases concluding there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud or improper counting that could have changed the results in Donald Trump's favor.
It's these allegations Warner says he finds credible, pushing past the denials by social media executives and federal law enforcement that they were pressured by Democrats to suppress the story. In an interview this past week, Warner called the alleged actions "treasonous" and said they need to be examined more deeply before the next election.
The Republican Party, Southerly said, has become too focused on "national issues" and talking points instead of what matters to people at the local level -- especially in West Virginia, which consistently ranks among the highest in the nation for poverty and overdose death rates and among the lowest for life expectancy and educational attainment.
After West Virginia was the last in the nation to certify a presidential winner in 2020, Army veteran Warner said he supported the state's involvement in the legal effort to challenge the results.
