In the wake of Election Day, there are questions about whether Google's polling place locator misdirected potential mid-term voters.
Fast Company is citing data by Aristotle -- a private company that provides political technology and data for

"In states such as New York, voting at the wrong polling place is prohibited."
Aristotle, which creates its own polling place locator tool, apparently spent the last two weeks trying to determine the accuracy of Google polling station data. For Google's part, it says: "We are
