هل يمكن إجراء الانتخابات البلدية في موعدها على أن تُأجل في مناطق أخرى؟

Publisher’s rating: صحيح

The review says municipal elections could be held on schedule in areas able to vote while being postponed in southern towns affected by military operations. It cites legal advice that municipalities are independent electoral bodies and points to prior cases in Lebanon where elections were delayed in particular areas while proceeding elsewhere.

“Le estoy ganando a Biden por mucho. No sólo ganamos a los republicanos, sino también a Biden. En la encuesta que ha salido hoy, estamos 20 puntos por encima de Biden”.

Publisher’s rating: Engañoso

The review finds the claim misleading: the 20-point lead it identified was limited to a poll question about who would handle the economy better, while that poll showed Trump ahead by 5 points among registered voters overall. Across 243 polls it reviewed, Trump’s average lead was 3.15 points.
