As America grapples with Trump’s impending second presidential term, folks in red states are wondering if they can change their vote at either the local, state or federal level.

Google Trends saw a dramatic increase in searches for “How to change my vote” as early as the morning of Election Day before the polls were closed, according to Virginia news outlet WAVY.

Google Trends also reveals that from Nov. 4-11, the searches peaked on Election Day, Nov. 5, at 7 a.m. and gradually decreased throughout the day. On Nov. 6, Trump was announced the winner. Other state and local leaders were also announced that day.

Iowa, which went red, was the state that had the highest amount of people looking into changing their votes. This occurred mostly in the areas of Des Moines-Ames, Cedar Rapids-Waterlook-Iowa City and Dubuque.

Interestingly enough, the highest number of searches took place on Monday (Nov. 11) at 5 a.m., less than a week after Election Day. Other states with the same high search interest include Kansas, Idaho, Nebraska and Alabama — all states that Trump secured.

Of course, as soon as this news hit X users were pretty much fed up with the ignorant folks unsure of how elections work. One person, @WonderKing82, was succinct in reading them for filth.

“No, you can’t change your vote. You voted with good conscience & will. You didn’t make a mistake. You made a decision,” he wrote.

“Googling tariff is not going to help. Googling department of education now is not going to help. Googling Project 2025 is not going to help. Stand on your vote.”

Trump defeated Harris just by around 3.2 million votes, though he fared better and had a more favorable margin with the electoral college. Considering all of the shocking things Trump promised to do once he was elected, people are re-evaluating what they have gotten themselves into.

Well, it's not like they didn't know exactly who they were voting for.

Fucking idiots.
