In a stunning turn of events that has left analysts baffled and comedians drooling, Nevada voters have officially made “No” the most popular choice on the ballot this election season. In an unprecedented display of disapproval, citizens of the Silver State have taken to the polls not just to vote against candidates, but to vote against the very concept of voting itself. “We wanted change,” said one voter, who wished to remain anonymous but went by the moniker of “Disenchanted in Del Taco.” “And by ‘change,’ I mean we want to stop all these choices that make no sense! Voting shouldn’t be this complicated.” Exit polls revealed that 87% of voters had marked “No” when asked whether they approved of the current state of political affairs, with 95% responding “No” to the question, “Do you want to see more negative ads?” Political experts gathered at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, were quick to diagnose the situation as “Unprecedented Cynicism Syndrome” (UCS). “It's a real thing,” claimed Dr. Frankly Baffled, head of the Department of Political Misinformation. “We’ve studied it for years. It usually occurs when a politician shows up on screen more often than a local weather report. In Nevada, it happens during every election cycle.” Indeed, the fervor for “No” was so rampant that grassroots campaigns sprang up across the state, promoting slogans like “No Means No!" and “Don't Just Say ‘No’ — Say ‘Hell No!’” The state’s most popular jingle became “When in doubt, just shout ‘NO!’/ Vote it down, don’t let it grow.” Even local schools reported an uptick in spelling bees centered around the word “no,” with students proudly showcasing their new vocabulary. In reaction to the astounding results, political parties scrambled to disassociate themselves from candidates, with the Republican and Democratic parties both sending out joint press releases stating, “We had nothing to do with this mess!” In a bold move of defiance, the state’s secretary of state issued a new policy: all future ballots will now read “Yes, No, or The Lesser Evil.” Voter turnout expectations for the next election have skyrocketed, with even apathy setting records as citizens now want to come out just to write “No” on everything. “I’ve never felt such unity!” exclaimed a local barista named Jess, who turned her coffee shop into a pro-No rally point. “We’re all just tired of the same old schtick. Maybe ‘No’ is the way forward. Who knows? At least it has a ring to it.” As it stands, Nevada is preparing to send “No” to the national debate stage in a bid to see if “No” can compete against real candidates. Supporters have already designed campaign merchandise featuring “No 2024” emblazoned on t-shirts alongside a picture of a cartoon thumbs-down. Political analyst Surprise Me! remarked, “If ‘No’ makes it to the debate stage, we might actually see the most entertaining political discourse ever. Just imagine the rebuttals—‘No’ vs. ‘But that’s not a valid option!’” In the meantime, the state is gearing up for an exciting new season of “Democracy Gone Mad,” where viewers can tune in to watch weekly episodes of politicians floundering to rise above the most favored option— the resounding “No.” As the dust settles on this accident of history, one thing is for sure: if “No” wins the presidency, they might just veto the idea of political parties altogether. After all, in Nevada, it seems that the party is just getting started, and it involves saying “No” to everything.
