Google says it has fixed an issue with its search engine that saw it display a “where to vote” sign, which includes a map of polling locations, for some specific voting-related searches, but not others. The tech giant even used the word “fixed” to address the issue, despite the fact that Google Search was working fine and as expected. In doing so, Google fueled baseless conspiracy theories that it intentionally displayed biased results.

The issue was highlighted on X by Elon Musk, who request if others also saw the problem with “where to vote” queries, and later posted an emoji of a face with a raised eyebrow when sharing another user’s post showing the differences between two Google searches.

The problem, according to Musk and his supporters, was that users who searched for “Where can I vote for Harris?” would see a map prompting them to enter a postal address to find their local polling location. But those who entered the same query for Trump would only see a selection of featured articles and other standard search results.

The conspiracy raised did not hold water, however, since Google confirmed on X that the search engine actually worked as expected given that “Harris” is also the name of a place – a county in Texas – while Trump is not. As Google pointed out in an X article Tuesday afternoon, a similar card would appear if users searched for “where can I vote for Vance?” (Trump’s vice presidential choice), because “Vance” is also the name of a county.

This explanation should have been enough to debunk the conspiracies circulating on X that Google was showing biased results. Despite this clarification, Google has decided to change how and when the “where to vote” sign would appear in response to these searches, giving the impression that the company was taking responsibility for a mistake it had made.

In a post on On Tuesday at 3:22 p.m. ET, the search giant announced that a fix was coming, adding that very few people would actually search for voting information by adding the name of their county to their query. At 3:38 p.m. ET, Google job “Update: This is now fixed.”

As expected, Google’s choice of words – claiming it had “solved” the problem – raised questions from those who tend to believe Google was somehow trying to influence the elections. X users wondered why, if Google hadn’t done anything wrong, it would need to “fix” the problem. Others continued to call out Google for the mistake and suggested various punitive measures such as fines and lawsuits.

Google was asked for comment on the issue, but no immediate response was provided.
