When "Where can I vote for Harris?" was entered into Google, the site provided information on "where to vote" and allowed users to input their address to determine the closest voting location. However, when "Where can I vote for Trump?" was asked, Google failed to inform users where to vote and instead offered links to CNN, CBS and NBC Election Day coverage.

Note very few people actually search for voting places this way," Google posted on X in response to the backlash.
"Update" This is now fixed," Google added shortly afterwards.
