There were problems with voting procedures in both the primary and general election for the Mingo portion of Senate District 6. In the general election more than 600 votes were cast using improper ballots provided to voters by the Mingo County Clerk. The majority of those votes could not be counted due to the county’s mistake.
The Secretary of State’s office said that if one of the candidates won within the margin of illegally cast votes then there would be a valid election challenge. However Republican Craig Hart beat Democrat Jeff Disibio by more than 10,000 votes.
The ACLU filed legal action on Election Day seeking “to rectify the disenfranchisement of hundreds of voters.” The action filed in Mingo County Court seeks a court order that would require the Mingo County Clerk to “conduct the election of a candidate for West Virginia’s 6th Senate District in accordance with their clear and established legal duty.”
