Why West Virginia?
Pretty much the same reason as Louisiana.
They built their economy around a natural resource. General populace isn't very educated. Tendency to elect incompetent populist good ole baws.

“From 2010 to 2020, the population dropped 3.2%, or about 59,000 people. Because of that, West Virginia was one of only seven states to lose a congressional seat following the 2020 census.
Reasons for leaving vary, but common themes emerge: a lack of opportunity or low pay, not enough to do, and poor cellphone and internet service. According to the Census Bureau, only 79% of West Virginian households have a broadband internet subscription, the fifth-smallest rate in the country.
The population has suffered from changing demographics, with deaths outpacing births for the past two decades, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.”
Not having enough children is one reason too.
