The Republican former lieutenant governor of North Carolina,
Mark Robinson,
has admitted he "misled" voters during his unsuccessful 2024 gubernatorial campaign
when he denied posting racist and offensive comments on a pornography website
– suggesting he did so to protect Donald Trump’s successful presidential run.
Robinson, who worked in furniture manufacturing before entering politics in 2020, told the "After the Call" podcast on Thursday:

COVID may have killed significantly more people in the U.S. in the first two years of the pandemic than official records indicate, with as many as one overlooked death for every five recorded ones. That brings the total to nearly one million deaths just in 2020 and 2021.
That calculation comes from research published today in Science Advances that seeks to understand how many COVID deaths fell through the cracks of official reporting systems. The untallied cases show the burden of the …

Fulton County argues FBI seizure of 2020 ballots shows ‘callous disregard’ for constitutional rights - POLITICO
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/08/fulton-county-fbi-seizure-2020-ballots-constitution-00770938
After many years as a staunch fence-sitter/political neutral, I voted in two previous political leadership races. The first was the 2020 Green leadership race. I was excited to support a candidate, and was then horrified to find out he was a Russian propagandist claiming to be a ‘anti-imperialist’. You can figure out who that is on your own lol. Have fun :)
The second leadership race I participated in was the BC NDP race that pitted David Eby against Anjali Appadurai.
She was treated horribly, and I would say with fear, by the BC NDP leadership. She could have been a sea change in real social progressive leadership in BC and Canada but was pushed out.
She's working for Avi Lewis’ campaign.

The FBI raided an elections office in Georgia
and seized ballots from the 2020 presidential election
in connection with a federal investigation into
“deficiencies or defects” into Donald Trump’s loss in the state, according to newly unsealed documents.
An affidavit for the search signed by a judge last month reveals that
the investigation followed a referral from Trump’s former campaign-linked attorney
So, Gableman's argument is that if he isn't allowed to pick which judges hear his case, it is a violation of due process? I don't think that is the way the law is meant to work.
"Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman says his due process rights have been denied during the ongoing fallout of his investigation of the 2020 presidential election."

Approximate Cartesian Tree Matching with Substitutions

Abstract: The Cartesian tree of a sequence captures the relative order of the sequence's elements. In recent years, Cartesian tree matching has attracted considerable attention, particularly due to its applications in time series analysis. Consider a text $T$ of length $n$ and a pattern $P$ of length $m$. In the exact Cartesian tree matching problem, the task is to find all length-$m$ fragments of $T$ whose Cartesian tree coincides with the Cartesian tree $CT(P)$ of the pattern. Although the exact version of the problem can be solved in linear time [Park et al., TCS 2020], it remains rather restrictive; for example, it is not robust to outliers in the pattern.
To overcome this limitation, we consider the approximate setting, where the goal is to identify all fragments of $T$ that are close to some string whose Cartesian tree matches $CT(P)$. In this work, we quantify closeness via the widely used Hamming distance metric. For a given integer parameter $k>0$, we present an algorithm that computes all fragments of $T$ that are at Hamming distance at most $k$ from a string whose Cartesian tree matches $CT(P)$. Our algorithm runs in time $\mathcal O(n \sqrt{m} \cdot k^{2.5})$ for $k \leq m^{1/5}$ and in time $\mathcal O(nk^5)$ for $k \geq m^{1/5}$, thereby improving upon the state-of-the-art $\mathcal O(nmk)$-time algorithm of Kim and Han [TCS 2025] in the regime $k = o(m^{1/4})$.
On the way to our solution, we develop a toolbox of independent interest. First, we introduce a new notion of periodicity in Cartesian trees. Then, we lift multiple well-known combinatorial and algorithmic results for string matching and periodicity in strings to Cartesian tree matching and periodicity in Cartesian trees.

When the FBI executed a warrant on Wednesday
to seize records from the 2020 presidential vote in Fulton County, Georgia,
it marked both an extraordinary event in the history of American elections
and a significant escalation in Donald Trump’s breaking of democratic norms, several legal experts said.
Trump has long claimed, without evidence, that the 2020 election was stolen from him
and blamed Georgia, in particular,
for his loss to Joe Biden.

The Justice Department has backed off a dubious claim about President Nicolšs Maduro that the Trump administration promoted last year in laying the groundwork to remove him from power in Venezuela
-- that he leads a #drug #cartel called "Cartel de los Soles".
That claim traces back to a 2020 grand jury …
By any measure, the F.B.I.’s search of an election center in Fulton County, Ga., last week was extraordinary.
Agents seized truckloads of 2020 ballots, as Trump harnessed the levers of government to not only buttress his false claims of widespread voter fraud,
but also to try to build a criminal case against those he believes wronged him.
What happened the next day was in some ways even more unusual, The New York Times has learned.
