Posted on 10/24/2016 4:09:04 AM PDT by MNDude

Start typing "how to vote" and it auto fills with "Hillary Clinton"

Start typing "how to vote for Donald" and now auto fill for Trump.

Try it.

Not sure why, but when I try that here, it does (not) map in Clinton.

I believe maybe it keeps track of your history. Maybe. Or else it is handling inquiries from overseas differently.

I don’t use google for much. But it doesn’t map in Hillary for me when I enter as you described.

(as per the original post, that is)

When I typed in “how to vote”, I didn’t get “Hillary” at all. Even when I added “for” to it, Hillary was not on my list at all.

I typed “how to vote”
and it autofilled droplisted:

how to vote early
how to vote
how to vote by mail
how to vote in Georgia

Maybe it’s IP/location specific. I never got an autofill for either candidate.

No Hillary autofill on my computer. Just an Alabama voter guide at top, other voter guides... How republicans should vote is 3rd... Just explains the process—no advocacy for/against certain candidates.

When I typed in “how to vote “ I got:

How to vote early

How to vote in PA

How to vote absentee in PA

How to vote

How to vote early in NY

How to vote online

How to vote by mail

How to vote for Dancing with the Stars

The auto fills are generated by several things, what you've searched for previously and location.

Pretty soon Google will only auto fill what it wants you to find online once the UN Ministry of Truth is finally fully operational. A new communication medium will probably have to be set up and the FCC (or any other agency that operates for the same purpose) abolished to kill the overextending regulatory oversight.

Doesn’t do that for me because I’ve never searched for HilLIARy. Dude, it’s not them it’s you.

My results were:
“How to Vote Early”
“How to Vote by Mail”
“How to Vote in Flordia”
“How to Vote by Mail in Flordia”

no auto fill suggestions mentioning The Beast for me: top two: how to vote in Texas, how to vote absentee. Google hates me and knows that I am a deplorable irredeemable.

Mine says Jill Stein.

I’ve never done a search on her so it can’t be from history.

No mention of Hillary at all.
