Precisely, a no vote is simply not choosing one or the other and leaving the question with no choice. Somebody has to win in order for those who did vote for an actual representative not to have their vote disenfranchised by having no representation at all.
If someone wants to make a point, do the simple math and make a news story about it and hold your representatives and political parties to task. None of the Above is the lazy way out. Get off the couch and go to town council and party meetings if you want your voice heard.
Goes back to an old saying of; Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way for someone who will.
I don’t mind the underlying principle of the Nevada law, but in a formal election process “None of the Above” should be meaningful rather than symbolic. In my opinion, the best scenario would be for an office to remain vacant for the duration of the term in question if “None of the Above” gets the most votes in the election.
I am amazed at how many of my fellow freepers condone rule by blackrobes, a gross violation of separation of powers and antithetical to the basis of our republic. Rats are fixated on results. They don't care if we end up in the dictatorship we are headed for, as long as they get social justice. Conservatives should focus on process and Constitutionality. What a single damn judge feels is bad law does not justify rewriting the law.
