Is West Virginia Gonna Secede If Kamala Harris Wins?

[berg80]

It’s been our editorial policy for some time not to overemphasize legislation at the state level that has merely been introduced. Dozens if not hundreds of whacky and extreme things are proposed each year in state legislatures but have no real chance of ever passing. Sometimes they amount to little more than gussied up press releases. But every once in a while something comes along that is so representative of the political moment that it’s newsworthy in its own right, even if it never goes anywhere.

Take, for instance, the resolution that four GOP lawmakers introduced Sunday in the special session in West Virginia. It’s as extreme as anything I’ve seen in the last few years. The proposed resolution, inter alia, calls on West Virginia not to “recognize” the results of the 2024 presidential election if “election fraud in any state was a major reason that resulted in a candidate for President obtaining a majority in the Electoral College.”

“Election fraud” is defined in the text very broadly to include a laundry list of bogus right-wing claims ranging from non-citizen voting to “prosecutions for apparent political motives.” By this definition, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s ongoing prosecution of Donald Trump could be sufficient grounds on its own for West Virginia to refuse to recognize a victorious Kamala Harris as the legitimate president.

Right-Wing Election Denialism Reaches An Astonishing New Low

The obsession with virtually non-existent voter fraud on the part of the POT has reached the level of lunacy. They have so effectively beaten this dead horse a majority of Americans are now concerned with voter fraud (mostly Repubs) in the upcoming election based on no evidence to justify their concern.

Here's something that can help remedy the situation. Don't re-elect the nutters spreading the lies.

Democrats would never let any state secede.

Don't be silly.

Socialism is not a choice, it's a mandated for everyone because it is just that good.

I’d be in favor of a wall, but western MD might want to join WV!

It's time for a divorce.

The division between the productive 2/3's of the country and the soulless, subhuman shit is not sustainable.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

They're already setting up the narrative for their upcoming loss.

Goodbye!

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

Funny, from history that seems to be a republican position.

The Hairy/Balz ticket is unlikely to win.

We need to just give up and let there be two separate countries but not by state, by county.

 

[Blaster]

Have a President for the red states and another for the blue states.

 

[whitehall]

More B.S. from the left. Historically the western part of Va. sided with the Union during the Civil War and became the state of West Virginia.

May be. But probably just a veiled issue to hide that Jim Justice needs to find new ways to keep from getting caught up on his bills. Leaving the union could reset the laws and delay the foreclosure on the Greenbrier again.

West Virginia, like most GOP run states, is a welfare state. If they seceded, the money we send them to keep their state functioning would be redistributed to more productive states and be an overall benefit to the U.S.

MAGA really is a metal illness..

Historically, secession is an act of treasonous war, to be dealt with appropriately.

I would shoot all the unarmed women first, like at the Capital on January 6th.

Then the rest you can throw in jail for 20 years like the rest of the protestors.

I think that Virginia is going to send Trump's electors to the electoral college....they are going to come up red this election instead of blue.
