Blankenship Will Try to Get on West Virginia Ballot

“Don Blankenship (R), the former coal baron and convicted felon who finished third in the West Virginia Republican primary in May, is wading back into the state’s U.S. Senate race, this time attempting to file paperwork to run as a member of the Constitution Party,” ABC News reports.

“Blankenship conceded that he does not expect the filing to be certified due to West Virginia’s ‘sore loser’ law that prohibits candidates that lost in a primary to run in the general election, but that he believes his name will be on the ballot in November.”
