There is no requirement that one vote, especially for someone/something they find repugant.

If given the choice to murder an ill elderly man or a five-year-old child, which would you choose?

I go with “None of the Above.”

But your “none of the above” saves neither the child nor the elderly man. What if your none of the above ends up meaning both die, and your vote would have saved one or the other. Do you think God will be happy with your decision to not to save one because you couldn’t save both?

The God I worship and serve expects me to do my best, and if that’s not a choice then He expects me to the better thing.

Under our form of government there is no such thing as a ‘none of the above”. We have an election and the person who gets the most votes wins, period. You could exercise your none of the above option if a candidate had to have one than half the votes cast to win, but in the case of the presidential general election that’s not the way it works.

A lot of people around here will tell you that’s not so, but simple math says it is indeed a fact.
