Manchin seeks return to West Virginia politics after past treasurer scandal
Ex treasurer A James Manchin, now 71, runs in Marion County for the Democratic nomination to one of three seats, aiming a political comeback decades after losing 279 million in state funds. Supporters note his name recognition and prior public service while critics recall the 1989 impeachment proceedings and ongoing questions about financial judgment.

West Virginia population changes little over 50 years
A state health report shows West Virginia’s population remained around 1.83 to 1.85 million from 1947 to 1996 despite longer lifespans and more births than deaths. Net out-migration exceeded inflows since 1950, births fell from 50,840 in 1947 to 11.4 per 1,000 in 1996, and marriages and divorces show long term trends with 1996 noting 9,023 divorces.
