Sen. Vince Deeds Files Emergency Petition to Remove Candidate from District 10 Ballot

State Senator Vince Deeds has filed an emergency petition seeking to remove Republican primary candidate Robert Shirley Love from the ballot in Senate District 10. The petition argues Love does not meet the five‑year residency requirement to serve in the West Virginia Senate, citing voting records from Georgia in 2022.
Love has suspended his Senate campaign but says he will continue running for the Fayette County Republican Executive Committee.
The petition is pending review.
