Chad Shaffer, a former state trooper who was on the shortlist for Wayne County, W.Va., candidates to replace the party seat left vacant by the state legislator who resigned after storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, alleging the West Virginia GOP intervened in the nomination process and provided their own shortlist to the governor through backdoor politics. The state Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the governor’s appointment while the judges hear challenges to its legality. (Associated Press — Feb. 2, 2021)
