Mangan's exclusive interview with a South Texas election judge who detailed certifying false votes for Lyndon B. Johnson nearly three decades earlier made headlines across the country. With the win by an 87-vote margin in the 1948 Democratic primary runoff, Johnson, then a congressman, easily defeated his Republican opponent to take a seat in the U.S. Senate, and he eventually ascended to the presidency. Mangan spent three years pursuing the story, which pulled back the curtain on the victory that had drawn suspicions ever since election officials in rural Jim Wells County announced the discovery of uncounted votes in ballot box known as Box 13. Headlines across the U.S. that accompanied the story included: “Polling Official: Phony Votes Stole ’48 Runoff for LBJ”; “LBJ’s election to Senate ‘stolen’”; … [Read more...] about AP WAS THERE: Uncovering Lyndon B Johnson’s stolen election

NEW YORK (AP) — A self-styled far-right propagandist from Florida was convicted Friday of charges alleging that he conspired to deprive individuals of their right to vote in the 2016 presidential election. Douglass Mackey, 33, of West Palm Beach, Florida, was convicted in Brooklyn federal court before Judge Ann M. Donnelly after a one-week trial. On the internet, he was known as “Ricky Vaughn.” In 2016, Mackey had about 58,000 Twitter followers and was ranked by the MIT Media Lab as the 107th-most important influencer of the then-upcoming presidential election, prosecutors said. He had described himself as an “American nationalist” who regularly retweeted Trump and promoted conspiracy theories about voter fraud by Democrats. Mackey, who was arrested in January 2021, could face up to 10 years in prison. His sentencing is set for Aug. 16. His lawyer, Andrew Frisch, said in an email that the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan will have multiple reasons to choose … [Read more...] about Far-right influencer convicted in voter suppression scheme

Listen to this article After drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton scored sixth and seventh in qualifying for the 2023 opener in Bahrain, Wolff declared that the team would change its car concept. While trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin has since revealed Mercedes realised the limits of the W14 in the wind tunnel even before hitting the ground in testing, a major car redesign is a months-long process. However, during the Saudi Arabian GP weekend earlier this month, there were suggestions that Mercedes would introduce its first development package in time for Baku or Miami. But Wolff has now ruled out a hasty arrival for the new parts, saying that any lasting changes to the W14 will not arrive before Imola, round six that will run across 19-21 May. The Austrian told Sky Sports : "We're doing good steps, good developments, but you've got to run them, confirm them, produce them. "So, I think we're not looking for introduction before Imola. We want … [Read more...] about Mercedes rules out early introduction of F1 car upgrades

Listen to this article The opening one-hour practice session at Albert Park was stopped after 40 minutes when it became clear that teams were unable to track cars on the circuit and as a result, there were several crash near-misses. The FIA, therefore, opted to stop the session for nine minutes while the problem was investigated. It quickly became apparent that the lack of live GPS tracking was creating the main safety issue, with drivers unaware of cars appearing behind them at high speed or going slowly up ahead as their teams had lost the ability to see what rivals were at that stage doing and issue warnings, as is the norm during busy practice and qualifying sessions. But Motorsport.com has learned that the primary cause of the problem was not a failure of the GPS system F1 uses, as this remained active for the FIA's monitoring systems in race control. Instead, a server that handles the FIA's tyre data and distributes that information to the live timing and … [Read more...] about Explained: What caused F1 GPS problems in Australian GP practice

Listen to this article On Thursday, Perez stressed that he now feels he has an equal opportunity to succeed at Red Bull and is supported by the team. However, he added that before he arrived at Red Bull in 2021 "they were just going racing with two cars because they had to." The clear implication was that his immediate predecessors Daniil Kvyat , Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon did not enjoy the same level of support that he now enjoys as Verstappen's team-mate. However, Horner insisted that the team has never favoured one driver over the other. "Well, that's the first I've heard him saying that," said Horner when asked by Motorsport.com about Perez's comments. "We always have run two cars since we entered the sport in 2005. And we always want to have the best two drivers that we can in the car, and I think it's great to see Checo doing certainly a great job now. "In 2021 he came into the car off the back of the COVID season and at the end of a set of … [Read more...] about Horner counters Perez’s suggestions about Red Bull being one-car F1 team

You'll find Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in virtually every new vehicle sold today. In most cases, the features are standard equipment but that will change for EVs from General Motors. Going forward, the popular features will be dropped altogether in favor of the automaker's in-house Ultifi software system. It won't be an overnight change. In a press release, GM pledges Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality will continue in combustion-powered vehicles as well as currently available EVs. Additionally, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV will retain the features, but the Blazer EV launching later this year will not. That's where the shift to GM's new integrated software suite begins, and it will continue with the Chevrolet Equinox EV , GMC Sierra EV , and C adillac Celestiq .
