I'm not sure I agree with the judge's rationale, but the basis of his ruling was that people who cast a vote for "None of the Above" are effectively disenfranchised under the Nevada statute because their "candidate" can never win the election.

That was the basis of my previous post. Under the Nevada statute, there should have been some kind of clear and meaningful result of the election in the even "None of the Above" came out the winner. Perhaps a run-off should be held (involving any candidate other than those who had already appeared on the ballot and lost to "None of the Above"), the office should remain vacant, the governor or legislature should appoint the winner, etc.
