America’s brief flirtation with election betting appears all but dead as West Virginia’s governor says he won’t allow such nefarious activity in his state.

West Virginia made national headlines on Tuesday after locally licensed sports betting operator FanDuel briefly posted betting lines on the 2020 US presidential election. However, the lines were withdrawn almost immediately thereafter amid major confusion over whether these markets had been expressly authorized.

FanDuel stated that the West Virginia Lottery, which regulates the state’s gambling operators, had approved election betting but had since asked FanDuel to “refrain from offering the markets until they have time to fully work through the implications of this new market offering.”

On Wednesday, the state’s senior politicians suggested there was nothing to work out. The WV Metro News quoted Secretary of State Mac Warner said election betting was “a terrible idea” that had been approved by “somebody getting overly excited about an opportunity without considering state law or consulting the proper people.”
