#1 So did anyone else. She got 30% while everyone else got barely 1% or lower. Trump wasn't on the ballot and none of the above got 67%. Do the math.

#2 That is almost too surreal.

#3 "Thank you, Nevada, for our second place finish!"

#4 This has happened before but never by this wide a margin, so they have rules that declare the 2nd place finisher the winner. Nikki is technically the winner, but the look is so bad that she is circling the drain.

#5 To top it off, that 'election' doesn't even determine the Nevada GOP delegate votes. It was a ~~circus~~ run by the Dem controlled legislature. The actual votes will be determined by a GOP caucus that will be run by the party itself.

#7 At 5PM today voting at the Douglas County Community Center the Nevada GOP caucus will overwhelmingly choose Trump!

#9 No way should the second place finisher be declared the winner. Dunno how the delegates to the Republican Convention will be allocated but, if they want to do this the right way, delegates proportional to the votes for "None of the above" should be free agents and not allocated to Haley.

#10 Remember, everyone who voted "None of the Above" took time and effort out of their day to do so.

That is, indifferent people just ignored it.

On the other side of the ticket, was Brandon and someone named Marrianne Williamson who runs on a hard-left platform. I wonder how much of that 10% she got, and if from the Californians voting in Nevada.

#11 Ruh roh.
Looks like they've taken ol' Brandon off his meds.

#12 None of the above should always be on the ballot- and would almost always get my vote.
