Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has vowed to launch an investigation into Google’s rampant election interference on Thursday, affirming that the tech giant “is waging war on the democratic process.”
In a statement posted on X, Bailey remarked, “I am launching an investigation into Google - the biggest search engine in America - for censoring conservative speech during the most consequential election in our nation’s history.”
He continued, “It’s time to fight back.”
Bailey has shown his dedication to preserving Americans’ First Amendment rights several times. In a case inherited from his predecessor, Murthy v. Missouri, he targeted the Biden administration’s censorship regime. He also submitted a brief for cases originating from Texas (NetChoice v. Paxton) and Florida (Moody v. NetChoice), retroactively defending free speech. These contributions are the primary reasons the Media Research Center awarded him a 2024 Free Speech Week.
Bailey’s announcement comes on the heels of numerous MRC Free Speech America studies on Google, which have displayed the tech giant’s interference with election search results on their platform.

In remarks to Fox Business, Bailey said, "We have reason to believe that Google is manipulating their search results to deemphasize information about the Trump campaign prior to Election Day.” He rebuked them, stating, "I will not allow Google to interfere in the most consequential election in our nation’s history." He has defended the First Amendment against the Biden-Harris censorship regime, consistently holding Big Tech accountable for infringing upon constitutionally protected free speech rights.
