Today is Election Day Eve, and I am tired. Not physically tired, mind you (coffee keeps me running), but instead, I am both emotionally and mentally drained. I am certainly not alone in this feeling, either. This presidential race feels like its been going on forever, and I cannot wait for it to end. God willing, tomorrow evening, we should have a definitive victor. Of course, there is always the possibility of a tie or other voting drama, but I digress.

If you have needed assistance with any aspect of tomorrow's election, Google has been offering help. Between its famed search engine and its YouTube video platform, many folks have gotten information about candidates, policies, polling places, and more. In other words, the search giant is positively altering the election results by helping voters stay informed. It has supplied valuable information to voters. Today, Google highlights just how many people are leveraging its tools for these needs.

"For the past several months, Google has helped people find information about the democratic process: our search results have helped voters register and explained the voting process with information on how to vote, who’s on their ballot, and how to find their local polling place in both English and Spanish. Since releasing these in-depth search results, we've seen millions of people engage with these tools on Google -- there's even been a startling 233 percent increase in traffic for 'how to vote' compared with 2012. In addition to 'how to vote', Americans are actively searching for 'where to vote' -- particularly in battleground states", says Shashi Thakur, VP Engineering, Google.

Thakur further says, "over the past few weeks viewers spent over 20 million hours watching -- and rewatching -- the presidential debate live streams on YouTube. Tomorrow, YouTube will be live streaming election results coverage from more news organizations than ever before".

There you have it folks, Google will have successfully altered election results by keeping voters informed through both search and YouTube. Not only has the search giant helped voters stay up-to-date on the candidates, but it has assisted them to register to vote and find their polling places too. Google is getting more people to the polls, but more importantly, they are better prepared to vote.

It is quite possible that the overall outcome of the election could be changed by Google's efforts, but this is not a negative. The search giant has merely empowered voters by giving them tools. Knowledge can never be a negative.

Are you excited to vote tomorrow? Have you leveraged Google to help make your decisions? Tell me in the comments.
