West Virginia's GOP voter edge tops 200,000 as parties eye general election turnout - WCHS

West Virginia Republicans outnumber Democrats by 200,835 registered voters, as party leaders make their case to voters ahead of the Nov. 3 general election. The Secretary of State’s latest report, based on registrations through Oct. 13, shows 527,532 Republicans and 326,697 Democrats statewide. Another 307,373 voters are registered unaffiliated. Republicans now hold the lead in 52 of the 55 counties. Democrats lead in McDowell, Mingo and Monongalia counties. Mingo is the closest, with a seven-voter Democratic edge. Secretary of State Kris Warner said the registration shift has been steady for years. But he cautioned that registration does not necessarily predict general election results, because voters can vote for any party’s candidates. Democratic Party Chairman Mike Pushkin said although they are concerned about registration numbers that turnout matters, and more Democrats turned out to the polls during the primary election. Pushkin said that voters are “fed up with the way things are going in Washington, D. C.” and at the state Capitol. “They don’t want to see AI data centers in their backyard,” Pushkin said. “They don’t want to see Flock cameras on every corner.

The Ohio Auditor of State's Office announced that Michael Perik, along with two other people, is accused of participating in a coordinated criminal scheme that diverted Pell grants, other federal aid and state subsidies through fraudulent reimbursements and illegal incentive payments. Officials allege the scheme also contributed to the closure of Eastern Gateway Community College. Perik faces a dozen charges, including engaging in a pattern of corrupt activities, aggravated theft of $1.5 million or more, theft in office, telecommunications fraud, bribery, having an unlawful interest in a public contract, receiving stolen property, and money laundering, the auditor’s office said.
