Low voter turnout is often blamed on the apathy of the American voter, but that's not true. Many Americans are simply disgusted with the choice of candidates we're given in our elections, which leads scores of voters to stay home on election day. It also forces voters who still wish to participate to choose what they consider to be the lesser of two evils, rather than leaders who inspire them.
Offering a non-binding "None Of The Above" option would drive up turnout by allowing voters to voice their dissatisfaction with the choices they're given. It would also send a clear message to the election winners that they do not have the mandate of the people that they so often think they do.
For these reasons, let's add a "None Of The Above" option to all primary and general election ballots.
