Muslim Ulema have presented a five-point demand to the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance in order to secure Muslim votes in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, which has been accepted by Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray in Maharashtra.

The review says the viral clip was edited: its ticker matched an Aaj Tak video about the Aam Aadmi Party’s 2020 Delhi victory, while footage of Uddhav Thackeray dated to 2019. It found no credible reports confirming that the MVA accepted the demands, and says Aaj Tak confirmed the demands’ font was not its standard style.

Kamala Harris a remporté tous les États qui ne demandent aucune pièce d'identité.

Publisher’s rating: Bien que certains Etats ne demandent pas aux électeurs de se présenter à leur bureau de vote avec une pièce d'identité, une forme d'identification est requise lorsqu'ils s'enregistrent pour la première fois. En outre, Donald Trump a gagné l'élection en Pennsylvanie et au Nevada, deux Etats qui rentrent dans cette catégorie.

The review notes that Pennsylvania and Nevada are categorized as states where no ID is required at the polls, but Trump won both. It also explains that some identification is required when voters register for the first time, and that the claim overlooks states won by Harris that require photo ID.
