| Description | West Virginia has a hodgepodge House of Delegates. By that I mean that the 100 members are divided up unevenly among the districts. Forty-seven of the 67 districts have one delegate. Eleven districts have two members, six districts have three, two districts have four and one district has five.
Monday, the House of Delegates passed HB 4002 which will correct the inconsistencies in West Virginia, while finally creating more equal representation in the chamber. The bill says when the Legislature redistricts following the 2020 Census that “the House of Delegates is to be permanently composed of one hundred single member districts to meet constitutional standards.” |
