Looking at the results I find a real disturbing problem. How ignorant or maybe in some cases racist are people in this state. Keith Judd, Democrat running against Obama, received quite a bit of votes in these counties and the state. For those of you who don’t know he is a FEDERAL INMATE locked up in TEXAS. WV was the only state where his name was on the ballet. We wonder why are state gets this reputation. If you don’t agree with Obama on policies that’s fine vote Romney (Mormon) in November. If you don’t like Obama because of color, then DON’T VOTE, that is ignorance. In this case though, looks like a sure sign of racism, because anybody who would of reviewed the other candidate would of not voted for him or just not voted at all given his INMATE status.

You are correct.
WV had to show its hillbilly side.
Even if you do not like Obama you shouldn’t vote for a convicted felon! You just don’t vote.
Only 3 counties in WV voted more for a convicted felon than the president. Unfortunately one of them is Gilmer County. I guess we have to show the rest of the world how ignorant we are.

The problem with the WV primary ballot is there are NO PLACES for write ins!  If Democrats could have voted for someone other than Keith Judd, then maybe they would have.  41% of the Democrats voted AGAINST Obama.  This is a primary election.  They know who they will vote for in November.

To JR Smith:

Obviously some of the voters didn’t take the time to look at the sample ballots and check out the candidates before they voted. Many think they vote for the best candidate. But do they really? Do they spend the time to figure out which candidate will do a good job if elected?

Based on some of the history of elections in Gilmer County and who was elected, I’d say many of the voters do not. They rely on word of mouth or how their family has always voted to make their choices. Then they complain when nothing happens or gets done.

The votes for Judd proves the point.

You know, a simple fact is that some people just don’t really know HOW to vote or how to figure out who they’re voting for.  Just a thought and from what people have told me after voting day, but maybe a training course could be held at the Senior Center free of charge before the next election?

to still anon.

You are so correct sir or madam.
If they don’t like somebody they should not vote for that person rather than voting for someone else whom they even don’t know. This is another proof why our political system, our state, and county are so screwed up. People blindly vote for anyone and never think about the consequence of their action.
Voting for a convicted felon is awful. I bet you, most people did not know him which is exactly your point.
We always get pi**ed off because people from other states make fun of WV. You can blame this one only on West Virginians.

How can someone who is a convicted felon run for president anyway? Was our secretary of state the only idiot who fell for it? I guess that is no different that our sheriff metz running for magistrate with fake high school diploma!!!

Some of these people can’t even READ!!  Not their fault, look at how they grew up.  Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day, TEACH him to fish and he’ll eat for the rest of his life.

Teach them how to vote!!

I think it is funny when you vote or do anything that is against Obama some people think that you are either ignorant or a racist.

To Not Me,
You are right! I didn’t have a clue who I was voting for when I voted for Keith Judd. When I found out today, I breathed a sigh of relief, because I realized that I had picked the better candidate. I applaud the 40% of the voters in the state who got this one right.

Burnt Weiney

P.S.
Actually, I think if you check, Judd won in 8 counties.

To those of you who are ignorant of the real issue: It does not matter whether it is Obama, George Bush, or Romney, you should not vote for a convict even if you hate your president. What are you going to do if the convict becomes your president? Bi*ch again or celebrate?
You hate Obama? Just do not vote for him. If he is bad do you think you are making the matter better? What a lesson for our young children … Nothing but abhorrence,…   

I know we as Americans have lost a lot of rights,but as far as I know.. We still have the right to vote for who we darn please..No one has the right to tell us who we can and can not vote for..

I guess you Obama lovers will be thrilled to see he just publicly endorsed same sex marriage..

To Mr. JR Smith and Not by me:
Just to make it clear when I start this comment, I am not racist. The color of one’s skin or their religion is not my concern. As far as calling WV ignorant for voting for a convicted felon I don’t remember anything such as that coming out in to the public eye to make any one aware of it. The people in this state just figured that individual COULD NOT do any worse than the one who is sitting in the Presidents seat now. If you recall, WV did not put Obama in the seat he sits in now because based on qualifications, Hillary Clinton was better suited for that than Obama. But the rest of the U.S. seemed to think that Obama would do a better job. Well, needless to say, the rest were wrong and WV got it right and were smarter than the other states for we all know Obama has put this nation in worse shape than it has ever been. Shame on our states for not having any stipulations concerning if a person was serving time in jail or federal prisons whether he could file for a position serving citizens of the U.S. Maybe this is where they need to change the rules and qualifications so that this cannot happen again. It is poor judgment on the State of WV to place this man on the ballot without releasing the jail information on him to the people of WV. Even had I known, the box beside Obama would have been left blank. So I think the blame lays on them also. But, maybe this convict would have or could have done a better job than the one who sits there now and he would not take the frequent expensive vacations and go golfing as much. The taxpayers would only be paying to feed one instead of 5 and he wouldn’t throw expensive dinners and entertainment. Could save some money there. Just a thought. It probably doesn’t make Obama feel to hot knowing that a convicted felon serving time in a Federal Correction Institution got 41% of the votes. Obama only got 26% of the vote in WV in the last election. WV is trying to tell the rest of the US that we need to change and we are smart enough to try to do that. Now who do you think WV will support in the General election. Romney when are you coming to WV? I am a registered Democrat who will be voting Republican in Nov. It’s not the party name I vote for; it is the man who will stand up for what he is put in office for, who will cut spending and taxes, and not think that all who do not want to work they should qualify for free handouts or everything bailouts and us the taxpayers foot the bill. I pay my own bills, let them do the same.

Obama was handed the keys to an 8 yr old run down country. GW Jr if you can recall. The one who wanted to find the WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION in Iraq (where are those at again?), the one who started the bailouts with the financial institutions, the one that we paid the highest per gallon of gas than we ever have, the leader of THE BUSH TAX CUTS. You know that Republican guy. Obama is 3 yrs into an 8 yr problem. He did get Osama though. Something GW couldn’t do.

You talk of his support for gay marriage. Well GW the guy who was “said Christian” had 8yrs and control of the House for the first 4 and he didn’t change that. Maybe Romney will though and put polygamy (multiple wives) in its place since he is Mormon and did contribute 4 million in tithes to the mormon church.

Obama is the most criticzed, scrutinized, and publicized pres in history. Don’t forget he is trying to get people to work and he did forge for taxes on the wealthy but the republicans didn’t like that idea.

To JR Smith,
Bravo again to you.
We are dealing with bunch of hypocrites here. The one who had their head stuck in the sand and observed everything with their A** in the air during Bush/Cheney era. The ones who have nothing to do but watch FOX NEWS all the time and their rhetoric . The ones who are racist and blindly blame everything on Obama. The ones who claim pro-life but do not stop at finding ways to create unjustified wars to kill people. Their man took over the country with the highest surplus ever and left it in disaster with the highest deficit. I guess that is what conservative means. Someone once said “Rome took a long time to build but it was destroyed overnight”. Isn’t it the case here? U.S.A. destroyed in 8 years and they expect it fixed in 3? Especially when they are not helping to rebuild it and pull the opposite direction?
It is thundering right now and I bet they are blaming Obama!!

Local politics, Metz got his *ss handed to him. What a web we weave when we practice to deceive,good luck in your endeavors,,,

To make fun of us shows your ignorance not ours.We didnt put him in there to start with. And to talk so bad about us and our county shows coward-us on your part.You can say a lot when you don’t have the guts to sign your name. You’re most likely excited you can get married now.You going to sign your license or remain anonymous. Obama supports you and you support him.We got some closet boys around here to even one or two in office.But we didn’t know the truth about them until they voted in.You people put pheromones off to each other that’s how you no one another.We in Gilmer County just don’t smell your crap .And don’t have to take it. And you might want to remain anonymous. The river may start clogging up.

I am a die heart democrat and very disappointed with the position our democratic executive committee keeps taking. They are never for the best candidates. Instead for those they can control.
Their agenda is the same old crap over and over. If they have not learned by now from the loss of Metz with all his lies and accusation, we need to teach them a lesson. Switch party or in general election vote for republicans or independents. We need to change the system and have a good chance of it in November. 

The President of Democratic Executive Committee (S. P.) needs to be stripped of all command decisions and influence and should take full responsibility for allowing Metz to run for election after falsifying the documents needed to by the Secretary of State. Tennant is a complete idiot that should not even be holding office. Her experience as a baby sitter for I** M***IS, I am sure would have gotten her plenty of jobs.

What the democratic executive committee pulled off KNOWINGLY by allowing Metz to run is a criminal matter, and should be handled as a criminal matter. No more excuses, and the fact that Metz was taking the GED test just in the last couple weeks speaks volumes about the guilt factor that includes top Glenville names.

ALL SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE - METZ HAS COVERED UP LAND FRAUD AND OTHER CRIMES as the SHERIFF of GILMER COUNTY and it’s why people call us CROOKED COUNTY.

METZ is the one that is CROOKED!
