As You well know, voters in Nevada have had the "None Of These Candidates" option in all federal, state, and local elections since 1975; and not by writing it in, but simply by pulling a lever on a voting machine just like every other Candidate.
ln 2016, "None Of These Candidates" received 28,863 Nevadan votes, while Clinton took 539,260 and Trump got 512,058, a difference of 26,202. One wonders how those numbers would have changed if NOTC wasn't an option and all [or even some] those NOTCers voted for either one or the other.

ItтАЩs a shame Donald Trump wasnтАЩt on the ballot for the Nevada Republican Primary held last month.
But itтАЩs not hard to figure out Why. He would have had to compete with тАЬNone Of These CandidatesтАЭ and very probably would have got his ass kicked, just like Nikki Haley didтАж :
NIKKI HALEY IS TROUNCED BY THE тАШNONE OF THESE CANDIDATESтАЩ OPTION IN NEVADAтАЩS REPUBLICAN PRIMARY by Michelle L. Price, Jonathan J. Cooper and Gabe Stern / Associated Press 7 Feb 24
LAS VEGAS (AP) тАФ Nikki Haley was swamped in NevadaтАЩs symbolic Republican presidential primary as GOP voters resoundingly picked the тАЬnone of these candidatesтАЭ option on the ballot in a repudiation of the former U.N. ambassador who is the last remaining major rival to front-runner Donald Trump.
Trump didnтАЩt compete in TuesdayтАЩs primary, which doesnтАЩt award any delegates needed to win the GOP nomination. The former president is instead focused on caucuses that will be held Thursday and will help him move closer to becoming the Republican standard-bearer.
That leaves the results Tuesday as technically meaningless in the Republican race. But they still amount to an embarrassment for Haley, who has sought to position herself as a candidate who can genuinely compete against Trump. Instead, SHE BECAME THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FROM EITHER PARTY TO LOSE A RACE TO тАЬNONE OF THESE CANDIDATESтАЭ SINCE THAT OPTION WAS INTRODUCED IN NEVADA IN 1975.
... not Biden ... not Trump ... not AOC (one-day) ... what's a voter to do
Vote "None Of These Candidates."
... and election goes Republican... we're all in impossible-situations-positions
