I'm pretty certain that there is a layer before the LLM that just checks to see if the embedding of the query is near "election", because I was getting this canned response to several queries that were not about elections, but I could imagine them being close in embedding space. And it was always the same canned response. I could follow up saying it has nothing to do with the election and the LLM would respond correctly.

I'm guessing Google really just want to keep Gemini away from any kind of election information for PR reasons. Not hard to imagine how it could be a PR headache.
