During Warner’s tenure, 260,000 new voters have registered. His office says that since 2017, it has identified 300,000 people, in a state of 1.8 million, no longer able to vote because they moved, died or were convicted of a felony. She said she has concerns about election security nationally after 2020, but she’s been impressed by Warner’s work to remove people from the voting rolls who he said weren’t eligible to vote. In an interview this past week, Warner called the alleged actions “treasonous” and said they need to be examined more deeply before the next election. It’s these allegations Warner says he finds credible, pushing past the denials by social media executives and federal law enforcement that they were pressured by Democrats to suppress the story. He has embraced broader claims that tech companies, the media and federal intelligence officials colluded to cover up incriminating information found on the laptop of Biden’s son Hunter.
Trump himself has fanned those accusations, though he has recently shifted his complaints somewhat from specific disputes about voting procedures in swing states. “That election was thrown, it was stolen, and we should not rest easy,” he said on Talk Radio WRNR in the state’s Eastern Panhandle.Īsserting that the 2020 presidential race was stolen has been a staple for some Republicans. Warner, who runs elections in West Virginia, toed the line for more than two years before going on a talk show this week to say he can “now firmly say” he believes the election was stolen. They persist in those views despite repeated investigations, audits and court cases concluding there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud or improper counting that could have changed the results in Donald Trump’s favor. Years after Democrat Joe Biden was declared the White House winner, Secretary of State Mac Warner and Attorney General Patrick Morrisey say they remain concerned his victory was not legitimate.
But first, they have to sort out what happened in 2020. (AP) - Some Republican officeholders in West Virginia are already revving up campaigns for governor in 2024.
