Relating to changing the process of election litigation

HB 2131 gives the West Virginia Legislature legal standing to sue state officials - including the Governor, Secretary of State, or election officials - who make unauthorized changes to election laws or rules, or waive those laws through settlements. It also allows the Legislature to automatically intervene as a "real party in interest" in any lawsuit challenging election laws or regulations. The bill requires courts to prioritize election-related cases, mandating decisions within five days for the Supreme Court and setting strict deadlines for election boards to finalize results before January 2nd. This directly affects the Legislature, election officials, and courts handling election disputes.
