[EL] Fun fact out of Nevada

Just for fun, I checked the election returns for President and Vice
President of the United States on the Nevada Secretary of State's
website - the number of votes for Mr. "None of These Candidates" is
larger than Biden's margin (10,391 for Mr. None; Biden's margin is
reported as 7,641). I have nothing intelligent or wise to say about
that - just thought I'd share.
I like these 'opposition to all candidates' rules like Nevada's Title 24
Section 293.269. The Nevada Secretary of State's FAQ's on this
important subject helpfully explain that Nevada law requires "that
ballots for statewide offices, President, and Vice President permit a
vote to express a choice of 'None of These Candidates.' However, only
votes cast for named candidates are counted in determining the
nomination of election to these offices." I'm not quite sure why they
feel the explanation is needed, but it's good to know I'm not missing
anything.
