West Virginia Courts In Chaos

West Virginia Courts in Chaos After GOP Impeachment of Chief Justice Is Ruled Illegal



"The problem for the GOP started when Workman sued, alleging her impeachment was illegal because the legislature did not actually specify any misconduct and violated her due process... There was no valid state supreme court that could hear the case — all the justices were either suspended or had been replaced with acting justices who then recused themselves"

  1. I have been reading that the great State of West Virginia is using a phone app to vote on-line next month.What could possibly go wrong with that.My point being West Virginia is going thru a major political crisis and hopefully cooler heads will prevail

    1. I'd prefer paper ballots. Even if those paper ballot machines ended up being compromised we would have a means of hand counting them. It wouldn't be a bad idea to select a few of these ballot counting machines at random to verify their authenticity through hand counts at the end of the elections. I don't trust any of these machines. The phone app is just begging hackers to take up the challenge.
