June 1, 2021
We, the undersigned, are scholars of democracy who have watched the recent deterioration of U.S. elections and liberal democracy with growing alarm. Specifically, we have watched with deep concern as Republican-led state legislatures across the country have in recent months proposed or implemented what we consider radical changes to core electoral procedures in response to unproven and intentionally destructive allegations of a stolen election. Collectively, these initiatives are transforming several states into political systems that no longer meet the minimum conditions for free and fair elections. Hence, our entire democracy is now at risk.

The Hotel Morgan, built in 1925, has hit some rough patches in its history. However, The Hotel had new life breathed into it when Charlestowne Hotels and Thrash Group acquired it.
Robert Mickey, general manager at Hotel Morgan, believes the developments the Hotel has undergone have revitalized the Hotel.
âThe Hotel Morgan, for many years, was the crown jewel of Morgantown,â Mickey said. âIt did fall on a little bit of a hard time. It did close in October of 2019; [then] the Thrash Group bought the property in December of 2019 and did a major renovation and revitalization of the property and we opened to the public on February 12th.â
