This is a deep red state that Trump won in 2016, 2020 and 2024. It is red when it comes to the Senate race, and it is red when it comes to all House races. There is little to no chance of a Democrat winning a national race here. But Democrats can choose to vote third party and swap their vote with someone in a purple state where the Democrat does have a chance of winning a seat.
Senate Race
This is a Red state. No matter how you vote, the incumbent Republican, Shelley Moore Capito, is going to win this Senate seat! Therefore it is a wasted vote to vote Democrat here. You are safe voting for third-party candidate S. Marshall Wilson, Constitution Party, without risking the outcome of this election. And you can also choose write-in candidate Rio Phillips (no party affiliation).
VOTE Rio Phillips, No Party Affiliation OR S. Marshall Wilson, Constitution Party, for US Senate!
You don’t have to agree with everything these candidates stand for, since they are not going to win. But by voting third party and swapping your vote with someone in a purple state, you can help get a Democrat elected somewhere else, where every vote matters.
