est Virginia's House of Delegates faces a momentous decision after Speaker Rick Thompson departs for Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's Cabinet: choosing a new leader will help set the stage for 2014, when Republicans aim to wipe out the Democrats' ebbing majority.
CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia officials are on course to settle two close legislative races from last week's voting.
The
canvass of the general election began Tuesday. Officials in the 55
counties are checking their results and reviewing provisional ballots.
Kanawha
County has around 1,100 such ballots. Several were cast in the House of
Delegates race where Republican John McCuskey appeared to unseat
Delegate Bobbie Hatfield by 64 votes.
Kanawha officials expect to complete their canvass late Tuesday.
Just
74 ballots separated Republican Mike Folk in his win over Democrat Donn
Marshall for a Berkeley County House seat. That county's canvass
includes around 125 provisional ballots.
Once the final county
finishes its canvass, candidates have 48 hours to request recounts.
County commissions must then sign off on election results before they're
certified.
