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.

Hang on. Jeez.

https://www.wvlegislature.gov/legisdocs/chamber/2021/3X/floor_amends/SB3033%20SFA%20TRUMP%20_1%2010-13%20adopted.htm

This Trump amendment, which appears to be the one adopted, did flip the districts over and make the 2nd the northern one. (As well as putting Pendleton in the south and Ritchie in the north)

It says "SB3033 SFA TRUMP _1 10-13 adopted.htm"

So I assume that means it's adopted. Huh.

Only possible reason I can think of for this is giving Mooney a tiny bit of legitimacy in his new district retaining the number of his old district.

I watched a little bit of the debate and the reason for the number flip, I kid you not, is they drew the southern district first and the software they used labeled it #1.

Do you know if there’s a link to the debate anywhere? I’d like to add that little fact to Wikipedia but would need a source.

Sorry I don't know. I can't even remember who said it (Sen Trump?) or exactly when,  I just remember that somebody said it and it made me laugh.
