True90% confidence4 sourcesNov 3, 2026The United States House of Representatives was established in 1789.Multiple primary and tier1 sources state the House was created or first convened in 1789 (House.gov: 'In 1789, the House assembled for the first time'; House History Timeline: 'Since its creation in 1789'; Archives.gov: first met March 4, 1789; AP: House and Senate first convened in 1789). The claim's wording 'established in 1789' is slightly loose since the Constitution established the House in 1787, but the post's framing of 1789 as the House's founding year is supported and the core date is not contradicted.True90% confidence5 sourcesNov 3, 2026Polls in Los Angeles are open until 8 pm.On November 3, 2026 (Election Day), Los Angeles County's official registrar and multiple news outlets report that in-person polls and vote centers were open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., so the claim that polls were open until 8 pm holds. The claim matches the post's wording and no source contradicts it.True90% confidence7 sourcesNov 3, 2026Polls in Louisiana are open from 6 am to 8 pm.Multiple reliable sources, including the Louisiana Secretary of State (tier1, published 2026-11-02), state that polls on Election Day, Nov. 3, 2026 open at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. A local registrar notes that municipal/parochial-only elections open at 7 a.m., but the claim concerns the congressional election day, which the sources confirm at 6 a.m.-8 p.m.; the claim matches the post's wording and the posted date.
