This was raised by a poster in another thread, and although it might have been a bit tongue-in-cheek, I actually wonder if it is feasible. Would you support a ballot that contained a "none of the above" type answer? That way, anyone who "refuses to vote" can actually be tallied and given a representative figure on vote counts. Maybe then politicians could see how many people were unconvinced by their platform or their stand on certain issues. Likewise, it would allow for much more accurate counts of how many people actually aren't voting.. I think if people were given the option to disagree with the candidates and still feel like they've "voted", it might satiate a lot of the more rebellious among us. The reason I'm less inclined to vote is when I feel like neither of the candidates have an agreeable platform --- perhaps this would also inspire smaller parties (Greens, etc..) after seeing the number of non-voting voters.

Good idea? Stupid idea? Whatcha think..?
