July 13, 2021 - 12:47 am
Republicans continue to make gains in voter registration in West Virginia, and that means Democrats are losing more ground.
The latest numbers from the Secretary of State’s Office (as of June) show there are 428,542 Republicans and 396,079 Democrats. 249,951 have no party affiliation/independent. 36,844 are listed as “other,” while 8,818 are registered with the Libertarian Party and 2,157 are members of the Mountain Party.
Republicans now make up 38.18 percent of all registered voters, compared with 35.29 percent who are Democrats. 22.27 percent are independents.
Thirty-one of the state’s 55 counties have Republican voter registration majorities. That is up from 21 just one year ago. In fact, in June of 2020, there were nearly 47,000 more Democratic registrations than Republican, and Democrats held a 38 percent to 35 percent advantage.

Montani Semper Liberi (Mountaineers are Always Free), at least thatâs what weâre told. West Virginia Republicans led the crusade to pass HB 2933, legislation aimed to stifle free speech by penalizing businesses and public entities who boycott Israel in support of Palestinian human rights. Before the legislation was even adopted by the Governor, Israeli police had already raided the Temple Mount at the start of Ramadan and blocked access to the Damascus Gate where Muslims would typically worship. The escalation by Israel furthered tensions which fueled the present 2021 Israel-Palestine crisis. This tension culminated in the eviction of Palestinians from the occupied Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem, using flimsy legal arguments to ultimately violate International law.
