West Virginia reapportionment law under legal challenge
Ohio County Republicans plan to contest the 1951 reapportionment law on three grounds: it was enacted after the 60 day constitutional limit, the 1950 census was not officially ready until April 1 1951, and the act may not meet constitutional requirements for delegate districts. A Supreme Court decision could upend school funding veteran benefits and motor vehicle laws, affecting counties and city finances and possibly prompting a special session or new elections in 1952.
