PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: Relocating West Virginia
Scott5114:
This poll is related to the proposal to merge the Ohio Valley board. If the result of that question is "no", the result of this poll will be null and void.
Feel free to leave your feedback in this thread.

Just so you know, approval voting (vote for any number of options) works better than voting for one and only one option.
The same applies to the Kentucky thread.

That might be true but the poll seems to be a forum feature, so approval voting would need to be available as a feature to be able to use it.

It would be, and the forum does support multiple-vote options. However, if we were to do that, we would need to do some sort of ranked-choice voting, which the forum does not support, because of the need for a clear single winner. (Because of the small sample size, I considered that allowing people to choose multiple options might potentially make a tie more likely, although I'm not really sure if there's any statistical backing to that concern.)

I voted to put WV in Mid-Atlantic. I'm heavily in favor of avoiding split-states, and it seems to me that the other possibilities for WV would make those other boards too crowded. (Midwest and Southeastern states would be huge with WV, especially if KY is also moved to one of those groups). There is also a benefit since part of WV is already in Mid-Atlantic. So the real decision is whether WV belongs in the same region as VA or as KY.
