Though the West Virginia Supreme Court has held that partisan gerrymandering claims are nonjusticiable, it has not clarified whether this holding applies only to federal constitutional claims or also extends to claims brought under the state constitution. State ex rel. Cooper v. Tennant, 730 S.E.2d 368, 388–90 (W. Va. 2012). Echoing what would later become the holding in Rucho, the court noted the absence of any “authoritative standard” under which to resolve partisan gerrymandering claims. Id. at 390.
