Nothing.  If he got 666 votes, that would be one thing.

Simply put, it means nothing because he got 66,000 votes more than the "magic number".

Didn't the mark of the beast change to 616 a few years back?

Also remarkable from that election was the overwhelming swing in Ronald Reagan's favor (+36R in 1980 and +34R in 1984 vs +4R in 1976).   

It stayed that way through the 1988 election, and then the Perot factor plus the large growth in the Hispanic population has swung it back to where the Democrats have taken 4 out 6 elections.

Then in 2006, his son lost the Senate seat by 14 points.

NV had somewhat of an anti-incumbent swing during 1976-1984:

1976 Carter 46% Ford 50% NOTA 2.5%
1980 Carter 27% Reagan 62.5% Anderson 7% NOTA 1.7%
1984 Mondale 32% Reagan 66% NOTA 1.4%

So it had one of the strongest anti-Carter swings 1976-80 and one of the weakest pro-Reagan swings 1980-84. BTW the NOTA vote virtually disappeared in '92, with 0.5%. I guess the NOTAs before that were literally waiting for Perot.
