The night before the election, people are looking for the locations of polls near them (“where do I vote”), and similar logistics (“what time do polls open”, “voting polls hours”).
On a more disturbing note, there are searches for “check voter registration” and “am i registered to vote.” As my 5th grade art teacher (yes, there used to be art class in school) used to say: PEEEh-puhl! You’re about 2 weeks too late to be checking your voter registration.
And last but not least, I see a search for this phrase:
