Three Counties Added To Staggers' Second District
West Virginia legislature bypassed a Monroe County dispute and realigned Taylor Lewis and Monroe into Harley Staggers's Second District. The Senate passed the redistricting 199 to none with an effective date from passage, but House Republicans blocked immediate effectiveness amid a 49 to 33 vote requiring two thirds. The session resumes Wednesday to address gubernatorial appointments and the legality of the 1968 candidate filings.
