This is the era when West Virginia politics do start to seem more southern. Yes, much of this pattern is just that it's more rural--like dependence on the natural resource extraction, a large number of gun owners, low college grad rates, etc — PolitiTweet.org

Since 1996, West Virginia swings hard right. To me, that's mainly the urban-rural, college-noncollege, left progressive v. populist conservative dynamic we see basically everywhere in America, in or out of the South (swing from 96-20) https://t.co/KcBdcxhUAZ — PolitiTweet.org

But WV is of predominantly Southern ancestry (it was part of VA, after all!). Like the South, Evangelicals represent a big share of the electorate. In part as a consequence, Bush culture war did tend to yield somewhat larger gains in the rural South than North (here swing 96-04) https://t.co/WzES0YCw1V — PolitiTweet.org
