2080 United States presidential election in West Virginia



The 2080 United States presidential election in West Virginia was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2080, as part of the 2080 United States presidential election. The Republican ticket of Caleb Webber and Christine Cho won the state with 57.3% of the vote, winning its 4 electoral votes. Since no candidate recieved a majority of the electoral vote, West Virginia and the other 52 states' congressional delegations in the House each voted on who to make president. West Virginia's two representatives both voted for Caleb Webber in the House election, following the popular vote of their state. Webber recieved a narrow majority of the House vote despite losing the popular and electoral votes to Green candidate Annie Brown.

Analysis
Democrat Elizabeth Betty, from neighboring Virginia, who won 27.0% of the vote nationally, only won 4.5% of the vote in West Virginia, making West Virginia the worst performing state in the country for the Democrats in 2080. The Republican Caleb Webber won the state with a 22% margin of victory and 57.3% of the vote, confirming their continued dominance in the state; however, this was the worst performance for the Republicans in West Virginia since 2008, when Democrat Barack Obama kept the margin under 15%. As was typical in West Virginia elections at the time, the easternmost portion of the Eastern Panhandle and urban centers like Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown and Wheeling were the Green Party's strongest regions, while Southwestern West Virginia (the region that was part of the Commonwealth of Virginia before the 2040s,) Southern West Virginia and the border with Ohio in the northwest were the strongest regions for the Republicans.
