To round the number of residents who voted for Ralph Nader in the 2004 presidential election, you need to follow the rounding rules.

1. Rounding to the nearest thousand:
Look at the digit in the thousands place, which is 6. If the digit in the hundreds place is 5 or greater, you round up; otherwise, you round down. In this case, since the digit in the hundreds place is 5 (651), we round up to the nearest thousand. Therefore, rounding 4651 to the nearest thousand gives us 5000.

2. Rounding to the nearest hundred:
Look at the digit in the hundreds place, which is 5. If the digit in the tens place is 5 or greater, you round up; otherwise, you round down. In this case, since the digit in the tens place is less than 5 (51), we round down to the nearest hundred. Therefore, rounding 4651 to the nearest hundred gives us 4600.

3. Rounding to the nearest ten:
Look at the digit in the tens place, which is 1. If the digit in the units place is 5 or greater, you round up; otherwise, you round down. In this case, since the digit in the units place is less than 5 (1), we round down to the nearest ten. Therefore, rounding 4651 to the nearest ten gives us 4650.
