I Want a - None of the Above - Voting Option

Two Thumbs Down

When I looked at the voting ballot I was again thinking to myself, "I don't want to vote for you or you." So I left both boxes blank.

On most ballots, in the US, there are only two choices: Republican or Democrat.

Once in a while there may be an "Independent" option, and some places on the ballot may allow for a "write-in".

What I would like is a box in each ballot section with the option "None of the Above".

Your vote is your voice and when you are forced to leave a section blank, your voice has been effectively silenced.

Republicans that won in the 2014 mid-term elections didn't win because most voters love the Republican party; they won because voters wanted to send a message to the Democrat party. The only way voters could do that was to not vote for Democrats or, like me, in some sections of the ballot, not vote for either party.

Now there probably is some political party out there that actually calls themselves "None of the Above". I don't want that either.

What I want is a legally recognized "No" vote of all parties represented in each section of the ballot.

Especially for those sections where the incumbent has no opposition.

Voters may not like the incumbent but since there is no opponent to vote for the voters' voice is silenced.

I didn't vote for you and I didn't vote for you either and just because nobody was running against you doesn't mean I approve of you either. I want a way, on the ballot, to tell all of you that I think you are doing a terrible job.
