West Virginia's governor refuses to acknowledge Joe Biden as president-elect [View all]

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice on Wednesday refused to acknowledge that Joe Biden won the presidential election, four days after the race was called and despite no evidence yet from Republicans of widespread voter fraud.

“As far as acknowledging that the election is over, I do not do that,” said Justice, an ally of President Donald Trump.
He vowed to support Biden if legal challenges and any potential recounts do not change the outcome of the race call.

West Virginia overwhelmingly backed Trump’s reelection bid with about 69% of the vote and elected about a dozen new state Republicans to office in the recent election. Justice was reelected for a second and final term with about 65% support.
