## Resource

West Virginia Delegate Elliott Pritt faces serious allegations of soliciting a 15-year-old, sparking outrage and calls for his immediate resignation from the state legislature. Speaker Roger Hanshaw has demanded his removal, and with the upcoming election looming, Pritt is almost certainly off the ballot. Replacement efforts are already underway as lawmakers and the public grapple with the fallout, raising urgent questions about accountability and the standards expected of elected officials. The legal battle continues, but the political and moral consequences are already reshaping the state’s legislative landscape.
