AP Race Call: Donald Trump wins West Virginia
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former President Donald Trump won West Virginia for the third straight presidential election cycle on Tuesday. The victory adds four electoral votes to the former president’s count. West Virginia has one fewer electoral vote this cycle after losing a congressional seat following the 2020 census. The state is one of only two where Trump won every county in 2016 and 2020. No Democrat has won the presidential election in West Virginia since Bill Clinton in 1996. Republicans control every elected partisan statewide office in West Virginia. The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 7:30 p.m. EST.

1. Surprise surprise

[calimary]

2. This is three states now, including Indiana and Kentucky.

I know they're red states already, but this is making me crazy...

So far, only Vermont is in the Harris column.

3. W. Virginia hasn't even started counting.

It's a 0% counted.

4. Meh.

I'd die in my tracks if he didn't.

[rpannier]

5. And people from the state wonder why their population keeps dropping

Soon, the only thing propping up that state will be federal facilities that were put there during Byrd's lifetime

[yaesu]

6. and the rest of us wonder why we keep shoveling federal blue state tax money into red states

to keep them afloat economically.

[rpannier]

9. Especially since all they ceaselessly bitch about the evil federal gov't

[chouchou]

7. Most of West Virginia is ignorant and grease.

[slightlv]

8. How (and why) do they do this?

I'm here in the CST zone... only one hour behind Eastern... and our polls haven't even closed yet! This is so infuriating... AND anxiety producing! Plus, it's just giving trump ammunition for all the after-election whining.

10. They need better representation

West Virginia and Mississippi are the two states I feel the most sorry for. They just get shafted by all the people they elect. I hope some day they get smarter.

11. When I think of the dumbest of the dumb, I think of West Virginia and Mississippi

And Arkansas, of course
