Google Search for ‘Where Can I Vote for Harris’ Shows Map, While Similar Trump Search Doesn’t

A new conspiracy theory has taken root on Election Day concerning search giant Google in the closely watched race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

On Tuesday, searches on Google for “Where can I vote for Harris?” display a “Where to vote” map that lets uses enter their street address to find their polling location. However, a Google search for “Where can I vote for Trump?” does not show a similar map.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the apparent discrepancy.

To be sure, it’s far more likely that interested voters will simply search “Where can I vote,” a query that does show the “Where to vote” map.

The different results in searching on Google for “Where can I vote for Harris?” vs. “Where can I vote for Trump?” were called out in a post on X by the “DogeDesigner” account, whose bio says the UX/UI & Graphic Designer at Dogecoin & MyDoge Inc. The post was highlighted by Elon Musk, owner of X and CEO of Telsa and SpaceX, who is a major Trump supporter. “Are others seeing this too?” Musk asked in a post quoting the DogeDesigner comment.

The DogeDesigner post claims “Google is the biggest corporate donor to the Democratic Party.” According to OpenSecrets.org, Alphabet (Google’s parent) gave $14.85 million in federal contributions to Democrats during the 2023-2024 election cycle, followed by Netflix with $9.89 million given to Democrats.
