Election Result Logo

The Federalist Party ran the table. In the 2026 Mountaineer Boys State general election, Federalist nominees won all six statewide constitutional offices — a clean sweep, and one the primary turnout didn’t forecast, since Nationalists had cast more primary ballots than Federalists (157 to 131). A total of 286 ballots were cast Tuesday.

At the top of the ticket, Jaxson “Action” Rappold (Federalist) cruised to the Governor’s office with 205 votes (71.68%), defeating Coleman “Coalman” Nutter (Nationalist), who took 67 (23.43%). Write-ins drew 14 votes (4.90%) — the only race where they made a real dent.
