Massachusetts residents were politically minded in 2020, at least according to Google, which has released its annual list of top trending searches.

“Election results” came in as the top trending search in the state, according to the list, in a year that saw several high-stakes contests. In addition to the presidential election in 2020, congressional elections and the Democratic senate primary between incumbent Edward Markey and Joe Kennedy III took place in the state this year.

Three coronavirus-related searches also made the list, as did the now-ubiquitous video conferencing app Zoom.

Three of the state’s main sports teams were also represented, in addition to former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this year after 20 years with the Patriots. Notably absent were the Boston Red Sox, who finished last in the American League East this year.

The top trending Google searches in Boston were very similar to those in Massachusetts, though Boston’s list included the February Iowa caucuses, which saw major delays in reporting results due to technical issues, causing a lot of confusion.
