| Dana Lynch, House of Delegate member-elect |
The House of Delegate District 44 comprises all of Webster County, and parts of Upshur, Randolph, and Nicholas Counties.
Lynch received 3,329 votes to Karnes' 2,227 votes, or a 60% to 40% margin of victory.
Interestingly, Lynch had a 1,035 vote lead with all 14 of Webster's precincts reporting, but only increased his final lead over Karnes by an additional 67 votes when the precincts from the other three counties were tallied. Lynch's two year term begins January 1, 2013.
