Maybe somebody could clear up all this emphasis on Nevada all of us sudden? I've seen multiple stories on both left and right leaning sites in the last couple days arguing over who will win it. From looking at the math it's only 4 electoral votes, Trump could win it, but if he doesn't win one of the larger states like Pennsylvania, Michigan or Virginia he will still lose, making Nevada irrelevant. Yet if Trump DOES win one of the larger swing states and DOESN'T win Nevada he still wins just by as smaller electoral margin, making Nevada essentially worthless in both a Trump win scenario and a Trump loss scenario. Now I'm sure there is some electoral scenario and state combination where it would play a role, but I think in the most obvious ones it doesn't.

It’s because NV + NH + ME (2nd district - 1 EV) = 270 EVs, the minimum needed to win the election.
