"
Does anyone find this to be essential to have on a ballot? Isn't the "no show" option the same?

OD
"
That is actually in contradiction to what you want to do! If you vote for "Non of The Above"
is all that dos is give fewer people more power in their vote! Is what you should do is
vote for an underdog or 3rd party, this way the REPs&DEMs will see a growing
threat of a third party and will start having to produce better results.

I think all the REPS&DEMS Voters should reregister as a third party. And when the
REPS&DEMS smell their own blood they will quit screwing us and America over!

I think an 'abstain' option is a GOOD idea.

It will give a much more realistic idea of how many people REALLY don't like the choices.

The voters would be voiceing an opinion. It would be a protest vote. None of the above.

You should vote for an underdog party, at least this way they might get some money
to campaign against the REPS & DEMS. A protest vote does not do much because it
will not change what the REPS or DEMS do while in office, but if the REPS&DEMS are in
fear that a NEW party might replace them, they might start working for "We The People"
and not the Lobbyist and big business men !
