A clean sweep.
538–0 is an independent fan-made game. Attribute scores (Charisma, Coalition, Resolve, Vision, Machine, running-mate Boost) are simplified, fictionalized gameplay stats invented for this game — not historical rankings, endorsements, or assessments of any real candidate. The election-night map is a hex-tile cartogram, not a geographic outline map. Simulated results are randomized for entertainment and do not reflect or predict any real election outcome. Data covers general election tickets through 2020.
