West Virginia Apportionment Case Redraws Delegates and Senators
The 1963 act creating delegate districts was struck down for rural underrepresentation. Kanawha County gained two extra Senate seats by overlapping the 8th District, while 12 small counties were to be combined into delegate districts. The Supreme Court sustained parts of Judge Taylor’s ruling but allowed the Senate changes to stand, prompting an extraordinary session to craft a new reapportionment.
