I don’t know if you can claim that map represents miners. I wouldn’t be surprised, but also there are essentially no mining jobs in WV anymore. They’re sold propaganda of coal jobs helping people, because a lot of people used to make a living from it (however horrible it was). I have a lot of family in WV and I know zero coal miners. Now it’s just machines working Joe Manchin’s mines, so 100% of them could have voted D and it wouldn’t make a dent in that data.
