Google search results for the 2024 presidential vote between original president Donald Trump and vice president Kamala Harris sparked controversy on Tuesday when people discovered that searching” Where may I vote for Harris” produced a diagram of polling places, while searching” Where may I vote for Trump” produced information about the election.
Venture capitalist David Sacks stated in a blog post that” Google will help you find a position to vote — unless you’re voting for Trump” that he had taken pictures of the Google search results on X.
Google claimed that the search discrepancy was brought on by counties with the names” Harris” and” Vance,” and that it trivialized concerns because “very few people actually search for voting places this way.”
Harris County, Texas, is also the title of a region in Texas, which means” the “where to ballot” section is triggering for some particular queries. Happens for’ Vance ‘ to ago it’s also the title of a state. Fix is coming. Not very many people actually use this method of searching for votes, according to a Google article on X.
” This is now fixed”, the tech giant later added.
Some people on X rejected Google’s description, including former Missouri secretary of state member Valentina Gomez who wrote,” This is a]bullsh-t] reason and you all know it. Google exclusively supports the Democratic Party, which is why search results are positive when you research Kamala but only provide negative articles when you research Trump. Election disturbance. This worry for you men have to pay in court”.
Another user wrote,” I would have believed this if it had shown me a map of Harris County, Texas rather than a map of my current place.”
” Thanks for letting us know, technology is hard”, a third person wrote, mocking the technology giant. Why did the jack rose trump podcast disappear from the search results and the YouTube landing page?
