- Record gaps: no detailed legislative voting record, biography beyond the offices and ballot status stated, or campaign-finance file was verified for the candidates in this district at this sourcing depth; the West Virginia Secretary of State's candidate listing was not pulled district-by-district from this environment, so the roster rests on the Wikipedia compilation of SOS-sourced results (compilation strength)
- Standing check: no pedophile-association material meeting the proven standard (knowing association with or defense of a convicted pedophile) was located for any candidate on this ballot
