In the video, originally shared by user X DogeDesigner, a user Googles “where can I vote for Harris” and “where can I vote for Trump.” Searching for Harris displays Google’s 2024 US Elections panel, which includes a map you can use to find where to vote. This is not the case with the Trump search.

But there is a complicating factor here: Harris is also the name of a county in Texas. And the poll map appears when people search for terms like “where can I vote” and a location – try searches like “where can I vote for Brooklyn” or “where can I vote for Tampa” and you will see it appear. And in fact, when The edge Staff tried searching “where can I vote for Harris”, we saw a sidebar mentioning Texas next to the voting map.

Google answered directly to Musk on X and confirmed this explanation. “The ‘where to vote’ sign triggers specific searches” because of the Texas county, he said – noting the same thing happened for “where to vote Vance” with a North Carolina county. The company said the issue was “now resolved” a later postand since publication, a search for “where can I vote for Harris” (or Vance) no longer displays the poll map.

The company also said that “very few people actually search for polling places in this way.” If you TO DO you still need to find your polling station, you can always bypass Google and leave somewhere like Vote.org.
