According to Google, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Vermont, and Maine residents were searching it the most.

This comes despite the fact that, as of 8 a.m. EST this morning, the final results have not been announced.

Americans took to Twitter, where the search term also briefly trended, to ask for help in their future moves.

"This President actually will have more votes than he had in 2016 and that shatters my heart into a million pieces. I’m ready to move to Canada," tweeted one user.

"I’m anxious again after another restless night. I’m going to see what #Canada requires to be allowed to move there," wrote another.

The votes could take days or even longer to be fully counted.
