When TTP conducted its testing from Oct. 1 to 10, 2024, its researchers found none of the scam ads that had previously surfaced. Most of the ads promoted legitimate voter education sites and organizations.
TTP argued in its blog post that Google can effectively scrub scam ads from search results: 'The findings suggest that Google is capable of enforcing its advertising policies and preventing unscrupulous actors from taking advantage of would-be voters during the run-up to elections.'
Google spokesperson Michael Aciman told Mashable that, 'We have strict policies to protect people from scams or misleading information about voting procedures and our teams work tirelessly to enforce them.'
