The rise of the red here has been disgusting ever since the increasing gerrymandering since 1993. Also with the declining population we may well get down to a single district within the next 15 years or sooner, and gerrymandering won't matter.

I miss Harley Staggers and Bob Wise as our representatives. I miss Robert Byrd and Jay Rockefeller as our senators.
I miss the days when we elected Democratic governors who didn't turn Republican.

I miss our Democratic legislature in WV.

Time to bring the Democrats back.

I agree - but it's not about enthusiasm. It's about the reality of the 2018 ballot in WV. CincyDem Oct 2018 #6
