A damages hearing in Charles Town for the West Virginia Mountain Party involved David Tabb questioning Donald Kersey, Chief of Staff of the Secretary of State’s Office, about the party’s designation as a PAC. Tabb and co-defendant Daniel Lutz previously faced a default judgment due to noncompliance, which confirmed the current leadership's control over the party. Kersey clarified that the Mountain Party's name as a PAC is a misnomer and a meeting was held to determine the rightful leadership. The case raised questions about party nomination rights and future sanctions.
