CHARLESTON – West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner supports state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey’s decision to join a lawsuit challenging election results in four swing states.
“Were the electors elected in those states properly?” Warner, the state's chief election officer, said on the December 10 edition of MetroNews’ “Talkline” radio show hosted by Hoppy Kercheval. “There’s enough issues to raise that to the Supreme Court.”
The lawsuit was filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Morrisey joined the lawsuit December 9. It is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the electoral college from finalizing Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential race. Paxton alleges the four states – Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to justify ignoring federal and state election laws and unlawfully enacted last-minute changes, skewing the results of the 2020 General Election.

“Many Americans and West Virginians have seen their confidence in the electoral system undermined as they watch one report after another outlining the many, many problems with the 2020 elections," Morrisey said in a December 9 statement. That must change.
“Today, I am announcing my support of Texas’ request before the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the many irregular, highly problematic and unconstitutional actions that have occurred in the states during the 2020 elections. We are joining a brief with a number of my colleagues, which will be filed at the U.S. Supreme Court this afternoon.
“America and West Virginia deserve to get to the bottom of these really troubling issues. I urge the U.S. Supreme Court to carefully consider Texas’ and the states’ requests.”
Warner, a Republican, also took part in a March For Trump bus rally December 9 in Charleston, appearing in a Right Side Broadcasting Network interview. During the broadcast, Warner can be seen holding a “Stop The Steal” sign.
“It’s so important to keep him (Trump) in office,” Warner said during his Right Side interview in which he also discussed ballot fraud allegations. “When cardboard is put over windows, when two cases of ballots come out, when ballots are pre-marked or don’t have folds on it — there’s all those things. Those are red flags that need to be looked at and not just discounted, and that’s what the mainstream media wants us to do.”
Warner also told the network he hopes the Supreme Court will rule that there have been issues.
“That’s what we’re hoping the Supreme Court will come to the conclusion there are too many problems,” he said. “We don’t have time for criminal cases to occur if we do the investigation so the only proper remedy for this for it to occur before January 20 is to throw it back to the states, which is what needs to happen.”
The states that joined the lawsuit by filing an amicus brief are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia.
