Google's Glitch or Bias? Searches Favor Harris Over Trump in Polling Place Queries

Google recently faced criticism when its search engine was found to provide US voters with data about where they could vote for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, but not for Republican candidate Donald Trump. The interactive map of polling stations was only provided when the phrase "Where can I vote for Harris?" was entered. Conversely, searching "Where can I vote for Trump?" only generated news about the election, no voting information. 

The issue sparked intense backlash from various quarters, including Elon Musk, a known Trump supporter. Musk and other users accused Google of propagating 'leftist propaganda' and 'interfering in the election.'

Google, addressing the issue, attributed the problem to a technical glitch. Google defended that this discrepancy occurred because 'Harris' is also the name of a county in Texas, and the same applies to the name of Trump's running mate, JD Vance.
