Google is accused of election interference because it shows voters where they can vote for Kamala Harris, but not for Donald Trump.
Elon Musk sounded the alarm on X on Tuesday after followers complained.
When a voter typed into Google on his phone, “Where can I vote for Kamala Harris?”, Google responded with a map showing the nearest polling place.
But when searching for “Where can I vote for Donald Trump?” no such card appeared, prompting the user to enter their full address.
A Google search for “where can I vote for Harris” returns a Google map with a prompt asking for an address to find the nearest polling place
However, the same search for Trump does not provide such a polling place finder
Instead, “where can I vote for Trump” produces a result for CNN and NBC articles about the election
DailyMail.com ran the same test and produced the same result. A search for “where can I vote for Harris” turned up a map of NYC

Others echoed his comments, saying it was evidence of left-wing big tech companies meddling in the outcome of the nail-biting election.
However, Google has said that the ‘Where to Vote’ panel will appear on some specific searches because there is a county called ‘Harris in Texas’, as reported by Variety.
The company said a fix is coming.
According to the latest polls, Trump and Harris are tied in every swing state.
Trump himself admitted that his team does not expect an election outcome tonight.
But Republicans have criticized major TV networks for giving Kamala and her camp more airtime.
She appeared on SNL on Saturday – and her VP pick, Tim Walz, was on CBS’ Stephen Colbert last night.
Many say this amounts to a violation of the equal airtime rule.
Google did not immediately respond to Daily Mail’s comment.
