Democrats Protest Contests in Atkinson Pendleton Case
The Democrats on the House Elections Committee publish a long minority report on the Second West Virginia district contest between Atkinson and Pendleton. They allege restricted access to majority information and argue Pendleton was rightly elected amidst 28 illegal Pendleton votes and 54 for Atkinson, with 14 questioned ballots deemed technical errors. The Wetzel county recount, especially Martin's schoolhouse and Archer's Fork, centers the dispute as fraud is denied and accidental mistakes blamed on conditions and old judges. The issue goes to the House next Wednesday.
