NOTA has The Big Mo!

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Is Nye County the one that does hand counts for everything now or am I getting that mixed up with somewhere else?

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Lander County now reporting:

Dem: ~69 votes
Biden: 79.7
None: 14.5
Williamson: 2.9

GOP: ~312 votes
None: 74.4
Haley: 15.7
Pence: 5.8
Scott: 1.6

As there is not an option on our prediction contest for Nobody, will the Nevada element of the contest be voided if Nobody wins the caucus?

NOTA is not an option in the caucus

Nikki Haley receives the most embarrassing election result in history, is asked to leave the Republican primary immediately.

The Trump Tweet writes itself, I imagine something like this:

"Nikki Haley is such a loser she managed to lose even when she ran alone"

[Progressive Pessimist]

There are no two ways about how humiliating it is. The only concilation Haley could have is that there were no practical stakes to this election. I'm sure that's how she's rationalizing staying in.

People will make fun of her until she drops out.

Biden rounding to 89% now as he continues to suffer in rural counties.

Haley doesn't seem to be doing well at all in the Mormon counties, although Pence is running relatively well there.

[TheTide]

Well this stifles any momentum Haley had or was going to have going into SC. Best for any future aspirations she has to drop out before any further contest.

Yeah, Lincoln isn’t much different than Humboldt or Esmeralda which have also come in as of late.

Just waiting on Douglas, Lyon, and Nye.

Is this the first time anywhere someone has lost an election to NOTA?

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

The 2014 Dem Gubernatorial Primary was “won” by NOTA. The second place finisher didn’t do very well against Sandoval to say the least.

Is this the first time anywhere someone has lost an election to NOTA?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/None_of_These_Candidates#Notable_impact_on_elections

in the 1976 Republican primary for Nevada's At-large congressional district, None of These Candidates received 16,097 votes, while Walden Earhart received 9,831 votes, followed by Dart Anthony with 8,097 votes. Even though he received fewer votes than "None of These Candidates", Earhart won the Republican nomination.[2]

According to a report by then-Secretary of State Dean Heller, "None of These Candidates" has finished first on three other occasions: in a 1978 Republican congressional primary, a 1978 Republican Secretary of State primary and a 1986 Democratic Treasurer primary.

I wonder whether any margin was as large as this though.

Shocking no one, there was nothing remotely interesting from these counties. All counties are now showing some (most) of their results

NOTA has The Big Mo!

There should be polling for NOTA as GOP candidate vs Biden

[Neo-Malthusian Misanthrope]

Jesus, Haley barely did better in Nevada than Phillips did in New Hampshire against a similar off-ballot frontrunner. Not a good sign for her in the slightest - SC might be similar too at this rate.

[Ferguson97]

I honestly think this is more embarrassing than the Ron DeSantis campaign.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

These R primary they don't talk about the ongoing Poverty and Trump tax cuts that's why Haley isn't getting Ds to bail her out

[GeorgiaModerate]

Haley is the only major Republican candidate on the ballot here left in the race.

She is closer to third than to first.

61.2-34.4= 28.8

34.4-4.2= 28.2

This math is off, unless Haley's number was actually 32.4 rather than 34.4.

[wbrocks67]

Biden clearing 90% in Clark. Once again, this isn't screaming blaring issues with Latinos, much like SC did the same with black voters.

Of course, NOTA would win easily.  Let's do more "detach yourself from reality" scenarios even though NOTA doesn't exist.
