This election conspiracy theory from Google doesn't work

In the video, originally shared by X user DogeDesigner, a user searches Google for “where can I vote for Harris” and “where can I vote for Trump.” Harris Search brings up Google's 2024 US Elections panel, which includes a map to help you find out where to vote. Not the Trump search.

But there's another complicating factor: Harris is also the name of a county in Texas. And the voting map shows up when people search for terms like “Where can I vote” and a location — try searches like “Where can I vote for Brooklyn” or “Where can I vote for Tampa,” and you’ll see that it is displayed. And actually when The edge When staff tried to search for “Where can I vote for Harris,” we saw a sidebar next to the voting map that mentioned Texas.

Google responded to Musk directly to X and confirmed this statement. “The Where Should I Vote panel triggers some specific searches,” the Texas district said. The same thing happened for “Where to vote for Vance” in a district in North Carolina. The company said in a later post that the issue is “now resolved,” and at the time of publication, searching for “Where can I vote for Harris (or Vance) no longer shows the electoral map.”

The company also said that “very few people actually search for polling places this way.” If you Do If you still need to find your polling place, you can always bypass Google and go somewhere like Vote.org.
