I like the symbolic value of the "None of the Above" vote, but this little item makes me wonder if Nevada didn't take it too far:

Under state law, even if "none" receives the most votes, it doesn’t win.

Kind of makes it pointless, doesn't it? If "none" receives the most votes, the office should remain vacant for the entire term.

Agreed... if anything, it furthers an uninformed electorate: “Look ma, I voted! (but don’t know the issues and didn’t vote for any real person)”.

OTOH, since this applies to most ‘rat voters, more republicans would win.

Instead of voting for someone a voter is lukewarm about it would be great if they could vote against someone they despise, a negative vote instead of positive. The negatives would subtract from a candidate’s vote totals. Instead of voting for a lessor evil, which voters have to do frequently, a voter could vote against evil. This would also help with the stupid vote, the voters that can’t follow simple instructions. Half of them would vote opposite their stupid intentions.
