Letter: I Want ‘None Of Above’ Option

It has come to my attention, in these times of partisan warfare, that we need to make a small change to the ballots used for casting votes for those who seek political office. We need to add “none of the above” to the ballot for each office. When “none of the above” wins, then there is an empty office until we receive an opportunity to vote for someone in whom we have confidence. Those who lose to “none of the above” shall never again be allowed to run for that office. While this may seem extreme, we are in extreme times/Cliff Weisgerber, Idaho Press-Tribune letter to the editor. More here.

Question: How often do you think you'd vote "none-of-the-above" if you had that choice for each race on your ballot?
