We had a great meetup this past weekend and one guy was discussing something he has been involved with for awhile. Sounds very interesting to me- a BINDING none of the above option for every election. What are your thoughts? Here's the link to their site:

Of course we need to be sure the votes actually COUNT but I think this is something I could get behind.

We're talking about for FUTURE elections. ;) I am also voting for RP. Do you really think we could get something like this passed before the election? Lmao. This is something that would take years.

This could also be used in local/state elections if no acceptable candidates are on the ballot.

Right. And they'd be forced to offer NEW candidates. The opposition to this is the cost of a new election but as was pointed out that is money well spent if we can keep the greasy politicians out.

It's only a few million to carry out an election in a big state. We can take the money that we were spending in Iraq and finance the next 50 Presidential Elections+all the elections in between.
