Who among us hasn't been burned by the sheer sight of an electoral college map?
You may recall that in the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote over Donald Trump by nearly three million votes. But because the 2016 electoral college map showed an unexpected sea of red, Trump became president.
The electoral college sucks so much that Trump himself even complained about it on Twitter back in 2012. But the system still exists, so it seems we just have to deal with it!
The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.

Though four years have passed, some people are rightfully still traumatized by the 2016 electoral college map. So on Election Day 2020, people are attempting to cope with political stress and lighten the mood by making electoral map memes.
If you're curious what the electoral map would look like if Joe Biden were to win in states that stan Britney Spears, have decent pizza, or were personally offended by the Season 3 finale of The OC, for instance, then you're in luck. Please enjoy these extremely low stakes, fictional electoral map renderings.

There's no denying these memes are a fun pick-me-up, but at some point a real 2020 electoral college map will be formed, and things could get a bit stressful with these babies floating around the timelines.

If you want in on the electoral college map meme, go right ahead, but please try to post them before polls close. We're trying to minimize panic as much as possible, here.
