As America waits for a handful of battleground states to wrap up the vote count in the US presidential elections that pitted republican President Donald Trump against Democrat Joe Biden, Twitter and Instagram have erupted into a meme fest.
As social media users got creative, they mocked the slow counting of ballots, singling out Nevada in particular, partly because it's the home of Las Vegas and its gambling culture.

If I've learned anything from watching movies set in Vegas, it's that Nevada gambled away all the ballots and for the last two days they've been attempting a series of whacky schemes and heists to win them back while also pretending they never lost them.

Some memes contained videos that sarcastically referred to how Nevada was "biding its time" tallying the votes, crucial to the outcome of the 2020 election.

Some other battleground states, such as Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina, also received their share of barbed jokes.

Some of the best memes, albeit not state-specific, seemed to reflect the general mood.
I remain nauseously optimistic.
