I may be very wrong, but I doubt that Ralph Nader draws any more than one-tenth of one percent of the vote.

It doesn’t even take that much:
Election 2000 results for Florida:

VOTES:
BUSH - Votes = 2,912,790 -— Percent = 48.8%
GORE - Votes = 2,912,253 -— Percent = 48.8%
NADER - Votes = 97,488 -— Percent = 1.6%
Total vote cast: 5,922,531
Florida electoral votes - 25
Bush won the national election with 271 electoral votes to Gore’s 266.
Bush won Florida by 537 votes, less than one ten thousandth (.0001%) of the total votes cast in the state.
If just 269 Bush voters had voted for Gore or if 538 Nader votes had gone to Gore he would have won Florida’s 25 electoral votes which would have given him the presidency.
In a country of 300,000,000 just 538 voters going for Nader instead of Gore gave Bush the presidency! - AMAZING!
In 2004 the difference of only about 120,000 votes in Ohio gave the election to Bush instead of Kerry.
