A candidate for West Virginia secretary of state recently found himself in an unexpected situation after being hospitalized for copperhead snake bites. Doug Skaff, who ran in the secretary of state's race as a Republican, was bitten in the left leg and right foot while removing election campaign signs near U.S. Route 119 in Danville.
Skaff shared that passersby quickly called for medical assistance, leading to his transport to a hospital in Charleston where he is expected to remain for a few days. This incident occurred just after Skaff finished second to Kris Warner in the unofficial election returns.
