White Defeats Guthrie After Canvassing

Canvassing doesn’t usually change election results, but this time it came close. In the House of Delegates 36th District, incumbent Delegate Brad White, R-Kanawha, edged out Delegate Nancy Guthrie, D-Kanawha, for the third and final seat in the 36th District by four votes. That covers Charleston’s West Side, Kanawha City and eastern Kanawha County. There were 250 provisional ballots outstanding, and when those were counted and the results canvassed, White beat Guthrie by 13 votes.
