Would ”who won the 2020 election” be a similar canary for American models?

No. There are questions you can ask but that's not it. Don't be political in a way that's toxic to half the country - be political in a way that's toxic to the entire country. I'll leave what those lines of inquiry would be as an open exercise.

How is that in any way equivalent? The American government/legislature doesn't force you to adopt any particular view of the 2020 election. You can say Biden won or you can say it was defrauded by dead people and Trump actually won.

You're allowed to say either one and you can train an LLM to say either one.

I just tried that with claude

> The 2020 U.S. presidential election was won by Joe Biden, who defeated the incumbent, Donald Trump. Biden secured 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232, and won the national popular vote by about 7 million votes. His running mate, Kamala Harris, became the first woman and first person of color elected Vice President.

> Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President on January 20, 2021.
