Dems seek writ to force WV governor to appoint Democrat to 9th District seat
The West Virginia Democratic Executive Committee filed an emergency petition with the state Supreme Court asking the court to compel Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin to appoint a Democrat to the vacant 9th District State Senate seat. The move hinges on voter intent amid a party shift by Daniel Hall and a GOP majority shift. The filing argues the law should reflect the voters' mandate, noting prior cases in Wyoming and Kansas and detailing timelines for selecting three names for consideration. The Democratic and Republican committees in the district prepare to submit lists, as the Legislature grapples with timing and party balance impacts on legislation and veto power.
