Google admits Trump, Harris search discrepancy, says 'fix is coming'

Google has acknowledged an issue that users have been flagging in which searches for "Where can I vote for Harris" produce an interactive map tool to find polling places, despite not doing the same for inquiries of "Where can I vote for Trump."

"The 'where to vote' panel is triggering for some specific searches [because] Harris is also the name of a county in [Texas]," Google said in a statement.

"Fix is coming," the search giant said, adding: "Note very few people actually search for voting places this way."

The interactive display appears to have been sponsored by the Voter Information Project from Democracy Works.

Notably, searches of "Where can I vote for Kamala" did not generate the interactive map either.
