The Gift That Keeps On Giving: 'Can I Change My Vote' Still Spiking Since Hunter Laptop

More than 92 million Americans have now cast their ballots before Election Day – though some might be questioning if they can change that choice, according to Google Trends.

Google searches of the phrase "can I change my vote" topped Tuesday morning in the U.S. around 6 a.m. ET.

One of the subregions where the sentence started trending at one point was in Delaware, the state Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden represented in the Senate for 36 years.

Other subregions involved battleground states such as Maine, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Iowa, Wisconsin and Arizona, according to Trend data at many points throughout Tuesday morning.

While a lot of states do not permit voters to change their early votes, there are actually some that do, with restrictions.

For example, in New York, if you have submitted an absentee ballot but change your mind, you can actually go to your polling place throughout early voting or on Election Day and cast a new vote, in which case the absentee ballot is set aside and not counted, according to the state Board of Elections.

In Michigan, citizens sent in a ballot could submit a written and signed request to their voting clerk by 5 p.m. Oct. 30 asking to have the ballot canceled, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Minnesotans who sent in an absentee ballot through mail had until Oct. 20 to ask for a new ballot from their county or city election office.

In New Hampshire, voters who submitted an absentee ballot can go to the polls on Election Day throughout the first hour they're open and vote in person, or before their absentee ballot is counted.

In Wisconsin, if there is time, a voter could cancel their first absentee ballot and ask for a new one – but they had until Oct. 29, the legal deadline for requesting absentee ballots by mail.

The president wrote on Twitter about the Google trend Tuesday morning and pushed voters to "go do it," believing without evidence that the trend "refers to changing it to me."

While Trump hinted that the Google trend began "immediately" after his debate with Biden on Thursday, data revealed the search did not start until Tuesday morning, five days later.
