Poll
Question: The 2 remaining seats will naturally go to the GOP, so it doesn't really matter how the GOP decides to redistrict here, but which map is more likely?
#1
One district in the North (in the DC media market) and one in the South (coal country).
#2
One district in the West (near PA and OH) and one in the East (bordering VA).
#3
Neither / a mixture of both.

A bunch of proposed maps from state senators are available on the WV Legislature's website:

Unsurprisingly, most maps shaft Mooney.

I am not at all sure the point of Trump's 5th map. Deviation is enormous

I guess it's in there to show his ideal, yet unachievable, goal.

Congrats to all who predicted North-South. Mooney gets the short straw as expected. Also, good on Boiseboy for predicting the final plan, just with two counties swapped.

WV is kinda like Iowa - less splits and a div greater than 1 person. But that rule isn't hard and fast.

The West Virginia Senate is done with its map -now the focus turns to the House:

After delays, West Virginia Senate passes redistricting map

In case anyone asks, each Senate district (there are 17 in total) is represented by two senators, making for a 34-seat Senate.  

Also in case anyone asks, the State House is transitioning from MMD's to SMDs, so things are going to change a lot and not to the benefit of the Democrats - even if there is no gerrymandering.
