    I tested it in regular browsing and incognito from a US ISP (because I live in the US) with two different phrases of the question, and it told me Biden won every time, and 3 out of 4 times told me the electoral votes. I’m not trying to protect Google, but this wasn’t something I was able to reproduce. Whether that means they’ve since fixed it, or something else, is difficult to say without a look behind the curtain.

      To verify the results, vote counts, and historical details of the 2020 United States presidential election, consult official election records or view the FEC data reports.

      It seems insane that Google would return obviously untrue results, but also the last 2 years are insane and google has been acting insanely the whole time

        They renamed Lake Ontario in Google Maps, without even being asked, because a dementia addled pedo can’t remember the names of things. So they’re fully on board with blatantly changing results to untrue shit
