Not only is today Halloween, it's also Nevada's birthday, which is why students there get the day off. I was born in Reno and went to elementary school in the state.

Fun fact: Nevada became a state just in time to vote for Abraham Lincoln in his reelection bid.

Didn't it literally become a state to help support Lincoln in his re-election? I seem to remember reading that it might have been too small in population to become a state yet, but was fast-tracked anyway...

Was it?  That sounds like some serious election rigging right there.  The FBI should investigate Hillary for any possible involvement, stat.

Wait? Hillary Clinton is a time lord?

Also its hilarious that it became a state that early while it took 30 more years for Utah to become a state.

Abraham Lincoln didn't need Nevada's electoral votes to win.

Why does everyone outside of Nevada pronounce it the wrong way?
