Charleston, WV: "On Monday, West Virginia received official notice that the state would lose one of its three congressional seats, WV Secretary of State Mac Warner said in a media release. The state was notified by the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives, Cheryl Johnson, that according to the 2020 U.S. Census, the state now only qualifies for two members of the House. This will take effect on January 1, 2022.

 

“The population increases in other states continue to show their effects here in West Virginia,” Secretary Warner said. “But if the Census Bureau has sufficient data to determine that we’re going to lose a Congressional seat, they should be able to release that data to the states to avoid legal challenges and other delays. With delays that will affect our nation’s elections, the Census Bureau becomes the newest federal entity contributing to decreased confidence in our elections.”

The state will also lose one Electoral College vote in the upcoming 2024 Presidential election. Electoral College votes are determined by the total number of U.S. Senators plus the total number of U.S. House of Representatives members. This means that West Virginia will have four Electoral College votes in 2024."
