Also keep in mind their house majority is super tight so this kind of thing matters even more than usual. They lost a house seat this last election and will only have a 3 seat majority. If they follow their currently stated plans, they’ll also only have a single seat majority for at least couple of months based on who they’re planning on pulling from the house into the admin. (House vacancies are not filled by governor, unlike the senate. They are just left vacant until a special election)
wouldn’t it be a hoot if nobody was checking current counts of house membership while donvict chooses his comrades in crime… and too many give up their seats
Even barring that, they could also have issues with unexpected/unplanned vacancies and missed votes. Health problems, delayed flights, lazy house member, etc. can all pose a giant pain for them
Know there’s already been concerns raised in the senate about the new WV senate Jim Justice’s attendance problems (they’ll have 53 in the senate)
