A fact from Sabina Matos appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 April 2021 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Comment: New from a redirect that I created on March 25. She's a nominee for Lt Gov, no timeline on the confirmation hearings, so the wording on that depends on the timing of this being posted.
The confirmation process is scheduled to begin on April 8.[2] It shouldn't be too long for her to be confirmed. I know, WP:CRYSTAL, but the Rhode Island Senate is controlled by Democrats, and McKee and Matos are Democrats. Assuming there are no skeletons in her closet that come to light in the next week, it should be a cakewalk and shouldn't take long. I suggest not promoting this until she is sworn in. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:52, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
It looks like somebody jumped the gun and changed the infobox from "politician" to "officeholder". It's only just gone 7am EST so that's a little premature, but in 12 hours time this issue should be moot. Ritchie333(talk)(cont)11:20, 8 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
She is still an officeholder, in the Providence City Council. Her full confirmation vote is scheduled for April 13, and she could be sworn in the same day.[3] – Muboshgu (talk) 21:12, 10 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

…since the nominees include dead people, as well as people who’ve moved away, although some are allegedly legit ;-) Shouldn’t this be in the article? Too many sources to count are reporting this. Boscaswelltalk07:39, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Let's wait and see. If she still makes the ballot and is not found to have had any personal involvement or knowledge about false signatures being submitted, it doesn't pass the WP:10YT. If she is found liable by an investigation or is disqualified from the ballot, then it would. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
There should be an update to the article indicating that the Board of Elections voted to subpoena all 11 of the individuals who signed Matos' nomination papers. If they refuse to show up, they will be in contempt and possibly jailed. If they refuse to speak or plead the 5th, the Board of Elections will throw out the enter page of signatures. When this happens, it is likely that Matos will not have enough signatures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Astigmatismsurvivor (talk • contribs) 18:49, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Beware of WP:RECENTISM and WP:OR. She has enough valid signatures. From the Associated Press yesterday, "Election board finds no pattern of nomination signature fraud in Rhode Island US House race". Despite the alleged fraud, the board confirmed that Matos’s campaign had collected more than enough voter signatures to qualify for the Sept. 5 primary ballot to seek the Democratic nomination in the race to succeed former Rep. David Cicilline. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
