Google Forced To Fix Search Engine After Getting Caught Interfering In Election

Google admitted Tuesday that it is once again engaged in election interference, this time by inhibiting voters from getting information on where to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump on Election Day.

Users who searched “Where can I vote for Trump?” were shown a list of “Top stories” and, further down, a link to “donaldjtrump.com,” a link to “USA.gov” about how to vote, and several other websites with voter information.

But users who searched “Where can I vote for Harris?” were immediately shown a link provided by Democracy Works and Voting Information Project that allows voters to enter an address and be directed to their nearest polling location. One X user attributed the difference in results to “Harris” being a county in Texas. But users who entered non-Harris, Texas, addresses were still provided information about their nearest polling location.

Google acknowledged the issue in a statement, saying the issue was fixed and attributing their blatant election interference to an oopsie: “The ‘where to vote’ panel is triggering for some specific searches [because] Harris is also the name of a county in TX [Texas].”

“Fix is coming,” Google said. “Note very few people actually search for voting places this way.”

Google users were previously directed to Democracy Works when seeking information on how to register to vote.

Democracy Works bills itself as “non-partisan” but is funded by “prominent left-of-center private foundations, such as the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Democracy Fund, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation,” according to Influence Watch.

Google’s election bias has been evident for months, with the search engine giant suppressing information about Trump’s first assassination attempt.

Less than three weeks after Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania, the top autocomplete results for Google users who searched for “assassination attempt on t –” were “assassination attempt on Truman” and “assassination attempt on the Pope.” An additional query of “assassination attempt on” showed 10 autocomplete results — none of which mentioned Trump.

Just recently YouTube, which is owned by Google, similarly inhibited users from searching for the full interview between podcaster Joe Rogan and Trump.
