Charleston Daily Mail - News - W.Va. GOP nominee says he's willing to quit race
In a seemingly chivalrous move, GOP candidate for WV Secretary of State Charles Minimah graciously volunteered to withdraw from the race and allow incumbent Betty Ireland to have his spot on the ballot. Ireland previously decided not to seek re-election citing the need to care for her elderly parents. After Ireland's parents both recently passed away, Minimah had an apparent change of heart, stating in a news release on Monday that he believes, "Betty represents West Virginia's best option to keep the state's election division moving in a positive direction."
Unfortunately for Minimah, and perhaps for the GOP, the deadline to withdraw was Friday.
If he wants to be a gentleman, he could just tell everyone to vote for Natalie Tennant. Oh, wait, he sort of just did, didn't he?
