FALLING WATERS, WV - Thankful for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and reflecting upon our recent West Virginia elections, West Virginia Delegate Larry D. Kump, District #59 (Berkeley-Morgan counties) praised county election officials, volunteer poll workers, and energized Mountaineer voters.
Also, and in a recent meeting with the Berkeley County Council, Delegate Kump applauded the Council's intentions to create additional early voting locations and more voting precincts, in order to reduce long lines of voters in future elections.
He particularly praised Berkeley County Chief Elections Deputy Darrell Shull, his staff, and the volunteer poll workers for their "herculean efforts and priceless performance".
Delegate Kump further pointed out that many of these volunteer poll workers are elderly, but nonetheless willingly work on election day "from before dawn until long after dusk" on election days.
Accordingly Delegate Kump proposed that the Berkeley County Council make "an investment in Democracy", by increasing the token volunteer poll worker compensation from $150 to up to $250.
He then went on to invite all other West Virginia counties to "for sure and for certain, go and do likewise, that God may continue to bless West Virginia elections real good".
