How about this explanation - the Republicans didn’t “stay home”, they simply undervoted on the Presidential part of the ballot.

Unfortunately, there is no checkmark for “None of the above” on any part of the ticket. Sometimes, that would turn out to be either the plurality or even the majority.

None of These Candidates is a voting option for Nevada voters for President of the United States and for state constitutional positions. This option is listed along with the names of individuals running for the position and is often described as “none of the above”.

I vote in every election to make sure they count me as someone who shows up. I never vote for a candidate I don't like (e.g. the lesser of 2 evils). I vote for a 3rd party that's closest to what I want or skip that part of the ballot.

As long as only a few % of us do that it doesn't matter much. But if we could get 10-15% of the voters doing that both parties would start paying attention.
* Why'd the R congressman get 10% more votes than the R presdient?,
* Why'd the 3rd party get 10%
There are policy answers to those questions that either party may use to change the results in next election. If the %s are two or three times the margin of victory (usually only a few %). When voters just stay home both parties don't know what to do an just call us stupid and lazy and think GOTV is the solution rather than changing their actions and doing what voters want for the next 2-4 years.

We have left the “President” box unmarked on our ballots the past two elections, while voting for the down-ticket conservatives running. We do not regret it because we no longer vote for “the lesser of two evils.”
