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.

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

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.

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.
