Democratic senatorial candidate left off ballot in Mingo County during portion of early voting

A Democratic candidate for the West Virginia Senate was mistakenly left off the ballot in Mingo County, a party official and the candidate said Tuesday.

Jeff Disibbio, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of the Two Virginias, was nominated in August by the state Democratic party to run for the sixth district of the Senate, but the Mingo County Clerk did not update the ballot to include his name, said Mike Pushkin, chairman of the state Democratic Party.

The West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office removed Randy Fowler, a Democratic candidate who ran in the primary, from the ballot because he did not file required campaign finance reports, Pushkin said.

Early voting in West Virginia has been underway since Wednesday, Oct. 23. The clerk’s office had corrected the ballot as of Monday, but does not plan to allow the approximately 670 voters who have already voted to vote again with a corrected ballot, Pushkin said.
