1943. There were no Civil Rights Acts. For that matter, there weren’t even 50 states. The world was at war. Israel didn’t exist. Everything ran on coal. That was also the last time West Virginia elected a Republican Senator in a regular election. Candidate Year Party W. Chapman Revercomb 1943 Republican Harley Kilgore 1946 Democrat [...]
