How did their parents vote?
Statistically, probably Republican. The better-off areas of West Virginia are more likely to vote Democrat.
Most West Virginians unfortunately continue to blindly toss their votes at whoever promises them more coal and natural gas extraction (versus investing in long-term, sustainable industries) while ignoring the core reasons for their lower-than-average standards.
West Virginia is a state in the mountains of Appalachia with a population of 1,778,373. The state's capital and most populous city is Charleston.
