I heard that they have this option on the ballot in Nevada. I was just curious as to how successful it has been in that state. I mean, are the politicians there any less avaricious than those of other, neighboring states, where this option is unavailable?

My question is just a way of getting at the true effectiveness of this strategy. I mean, Russia has the none of the above option and I don't see that nation as a sterling example of democratic government in action.

It is pointless. Even if NOTA gets a plurality or even a majority of votes in Nevada, the "winner" is the candidate who received more votes than any other candidate, and NOTA is *not* a candidate.

How could you have an election and have no winner? What are you going to do, force another election? And what happens when the previous officeholder's term expires and no one has been elected to replace him? It just doesn't make a lick of sense.
