Verification History

AI Verified Verified the 2016 Swiss UBI referendum quote. The 76.9% rejection figure is confirmed by multiple reliable sources (Library of Congress, BIEN, CNBC, Al Jazeera, CBC). The claim that all 26 cantons rejected the initiative is also confirmed. The vote direction "against" implementing UBI correctly matches the quote's content about rejection. Updated the source_url from the generic Switzerland Wikipedia page to the more specific 2016 Swiss referendums Wikipedia page. The exact vote count of 1,896,963 is consistent with the known 76.9% margin. Author attribution to "People of the Swiss Confederation" is appropriate for a direct democracy referendum result. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 4d ago
