CHARLESTON, W.Va. - eTradeWire -- A growing grassroots coalition is shaking up the conversation on election security and transparency in West Virginia. Citizens for West Virginia Election Integrity (C4WVEI) is already making a significant impact on policy, process, and public awareness.

Made up entirely of concerned West Virginian citizen volunteers from across the state, C4WVEI includes professionals in cybersecurity, IT, law, election administration, legislation, communications, and former election clerks—alongside sitting members of the House and Senate. Their unified goal? To secure the sanctity of West Virginia's elections and restore public confidence in the process.

A Movement That's Delivering Results

Since its founding in late 2023, C4WVEI has transformed civic concern into measurable legislative and operational wins:

🗳️ Legislative Influence
