In the 2018 midterm elections, Google used subliminal search persuasion to strongly influence the outcomes in Orange County, Cal., flipping the staunchly Republican districts to Democrat, according to findings by a former editor of Psychology Today.
Using special software, Robert Epstein, PhD, "peeked over the shoulders" of cooperative potential voters by examining their politically related search terms and the search results. His previous work had found that, among undecided voters, positive, highly placed search results -- along with auto-suggestions -- have a powerful influence on their perception of candidates.
Epstein says his statistical results show strong pro-liberal, pro-Democratic bias in the results, as opposed to the Bing and Yahoo search engines, which showed no bias in the ranking of search results. Epstein points out that he is a liberal who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, an election in which he determined that between 2 million and 10 million votes went to Clinton as a consequence of Google's subliminal methods of hidden persuasion.
If Google used its methods to tilt the 2018 result in Orange County and the 2016 vote count, it is virtually certain that Google used such methods nationwide in 2018, which saw the election of a group of pro-impeachment Democrats, who were striving to impeach Trump on any grounds they could find.
Google offered to provide the Clinton campaign with technical support and the campaign's chief technology officer had come over from Google, Epstein observes.
