West Virginia Supreme Court Refuses To Consider Petition
WEST VIRGINIA....
The West Virginia Supreme Court voted 4-0 Thursday to refuse the petition filed by Janet "J.T." Thompson challenging the November 2nd ballot. The independent House of Delegates candidate objects to including the special U.S. Senate election on the regular general election ballot. Justices say Thompson's challenge could instead join a similar lawsuit filed in Kanawha Circuit Court by West Virginia's Republican Party. The GOP wants separate ballots to avoid "straight ticket" voting in the Senate race. That option allows voters to select one party's nominees with a single mark on the ballot.
