Google said Tuesday it is working to fix an error causing the search engine to show a “where to vote” panel when people tried to search for Vice President Harris and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).

In a statement posted on X, the tech giant said that the panel “is triggering for some specific searches bc Harris is also the name of a county” in Texas, and also happened for Vance because “it’s also the name of a county.”
