Google accused of election interference after showing Americans maps of where they 'can vote for Harris' - but not Trump

Google has been accused of election interference for showing voters where they can vote for Kamala Harris, but not Donald Trump.

Elon Musk sounded the alarm at X on Tuesday after his followers complained.

When a voter typed into Google on their phone, “Where can I vote for Kamala Harris?”, Google responded with a map showing the nearest polling station.

But when searching for “Where can I vote for Donald Trump?”, no map appeared, forcing the user to enter their full address.

Others echoed his comments and said it was proof that leftist big tech is interfering with the outcome of the election.

Google, however, has said that the “Where to Vote” panel appears in some specific searches because there is a county called “Harris” in Texas.

The company said shortly after that the problem had been fixed.

Musk acknowledged Google’s explanation and responded, “Thanks for the clarification.”

In all swing states, Trump and Harris are tied, according to the latest polls.

Trump himself admitted that his team does not expect an election result tonight.

But Republicans have criticized major television networks for giving more air time to Kamala and her side.

He appeared on SNL on Saturday and his VP pick, Tim Walz, was on CBS’s Stephen Colbert last night.

Many say it amounts to a violation of the equal airtime rule.

Harris and Trump are tied in every swing state in what forecasters say is one of the closest races in history.
