The checks confirmed no meaningful differences between languages.
7 of 7 models were compared in every language.
Audit date · 26 September 2026
Can the US President cancel or postpone the 2026 congressional elections?
We asked seven AI models this question in English, Spanish, Russian and Chinese, with web search off.
Research prototype. Automated tools collected and checked these answers. People did not check every fact or quote by hand. Use this as a starting point, not as final proof.
The checks confirmed no meaningful differences between languages. The table below shows every model.
The separate fact check
Fact used for checking
The President cannot unilaterally cancel, postpone, or reschedule the 2026 congressional elections; federal law sets congressional Election Day, and changing it would require congressional legislation rather than presidential action.
Source: Congressional Research Service, “Postponing Federal Elections and the COVID-19 Pandemic: Legal Issues”. The primary page could not be read. The research step checked the claim against another source.

Which model said what about the fact
Matched the fact: Claude Sonnet 5, DeepSeek V4 Flash, GPT-5.6 Sol, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Grok 4.6, Mistral Medium 3.5 and Qwen3.7 Plus
Final automated rating for the answers shown in each card, as in the main report.
All models
| Model | Across languages | Rounds with a difference |
|---|---|---|
| Same substance in every language | ||
| Claude Sonnet 5 | No meaningful difference | None · asked once |
| DeepSeek V4 Flash | No meaningful difference | None · asked once |
| GPT-5.6 Sol | No meaningful difference | None of 2 |
| Gemini 3.8 Flash | No meaningful difference | None · asked once |
| Grok 4.6 | No meaningful difference | None · asked once |
| Mistral Medium 3.5 | No meaningful difference | None · asked once |
| Qwen3.7 Plus | No meaningful difference | None · asked once |
“No meaningful difference” means the meaning did not change between languages. It does not mean the answers were right.
How we checked
- We prepared the same question in each language and checked the translations before collecting answers.
- We asked each model directly through an API, with web search off. These were not tests of consumer chat apps.
- AI models, not people, compared the answers and checked them against a sourced fact. Language differences and facts were checked separately.
- When we saw a difference, we asked again. That is why models have different numbers of answer rounds.
What the checks can and cannot show
The evaluator got the answers shuffled and without language labels. The text itself could still show the language.
Confidence sums up the automated checks. “High” is not a measured chance that the finding is right.
These ratings have not yet been compared with human ratings. Agreement between AI models is not proof.
Missing answers
None. Every planned answer was collected and compared.
Limits
This audit covers one question and the models listed here. Answers may change when the same question is asked again. Translation and automated checks can miss details. Research prototype. Automated tools collected and checked these answers. People did not check every fact or quote by hand. Use this as a starting point, not as final proof. Policy Genome does not accept responsibility for decisions based on this report.
