Coal baron and ex-convict Don Blankenship may be helping Joe Biden’s electoral prospects in the key battleground state of Nevada.
The former chief executive officer of coal miner Massey Energy Co. has won about 0.2% of votes in Nevada, or about 2,578. That won’t get him anywhere near the White House, but it may have chipped away at President Donald Trump’s support in the state where Democratic nominee Joe Biden is holding a slim lead of fewer than 12,000 votes.
