American democracy has a turnout problem. stateline.org/2023/06/16/sta…
States with low election turnout did little in 2023 to expand voting access • Stateline
Eight states — Tennessee, West Virginia, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Hawaii, Arkansas, Indiana and Alabama — had turnout rates of below 50% when averaged between the last two national elections. Yet these states did almost nothing this year to boost turnout, according to an analysis by States Newsroom of new election laws and policies (though one, Hawaii, did make meaningful reforms in previous sessions). In fact, several moved in the opposite direction, imposing new restrictions that are likely only to make voting harder.

Kinda chic to believe West Virginia deserves better! 🌄
Policy advocates are warning that future FEMA disaster declarations could be harder to secure. If West Virginia fails to prepare its own budget, the financial burden of future flooding events will fall on the communities least able to afford it. mountainstatespotlight.org/2026/08/27/f...
Trump and Congress want states to take on more responsibility for disaster recovery. Is West Virginia ready?
Proposed changes to FEMA would leave states more responsible for disaster recovery. West Virginia lawmakers have left the state ill-prepared.
