  1. This is dumb because electors already are not required to vote based on the public's preference

  2. I'm not sure how a state can sign into law only conditional acceptance of federal election results. Seems like something you'd do if you were planning to secede. WV definitely ain't seeding.

The state benefits disproportionately from being in the Union. Without, what does it have? No farmland, no livestock, no oil, no cities, just coal
