Google subverts search for current House Bill, serves up results for four-year-old bill with same bill number instead:

In a search for “H.R. 4,” Google dug deep to avoid elevating the most recent bill with that title and instead propped up a controversial bill from 2021. 

Congress will vote on H.R. 4, the Rescissions Act of 2025, this week, but when MRC researchers searched Google for “H.R. 4,” the search engine brought a different, anti-American H.R. 4 to the top of search results: the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021. The bill, along with the For the People Act of 2021, was pushed by Nancy Pelosi’s Democrat-controlled House of Representatives and was highly criticized for opening elections up for potential fraud. 

The top two search results that the search giant elevated were namesake bill of the late Rep. John R. Lewis and the Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2019, which he cosponsored. The most recent H.R. 4 (The Rescissions Act of 2025) did not appear until the fifth search result, which was the only recent link. In fact, seven of the 10 results referenced the two previous bills.
