Google admits ‘where can I vote’ feature favored Harris over Trump, says issue now fixed

Social media erupted with criticism of Google on Tuesday after voters noted that the tech giant helped them find where to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris but failed to inform potential voters of former President Trump where to cast a ballot.

While many have insisted that Google interfered in the election, the company claims that it was just a technical error that has been fixed.

When “Where can I vote for Harris?” was entered into Google, the site provided information on “where to vote” and allowed users to enter their address to determine the nearest polling place. But when “Where can I vote for Trump?” was asked, Google failed to inform users of where to vote and instead offered links to CNN, CBS and NBC election day coverage.

The “Where to vote” panel triggers some specific searches, e.g. Harris is also the name of a county in TX. It also happens to ‘Vance’ because it is also the name of a county. The fix is ​​coming. Note that very few people actually search for polling places this way,” Google wrote on X in response to the backlash.

“Update ‘This is now fixed,'” Google added shortly after.
