Robert, I did it myself once. Sometimes one doesn't like either choice and the choice becomes neither. I remember having that choice myself when I voted for the first time. I couldn't stomach voting for LBJ and at the time thought Goldwater was way too far to the right for my taste. So, I cast a vote in that election for every office and issue - EXCEPT for the presidency. Barry

Sorry to inform you, but you are dead wrong. They are called protest votes and they average about 2% of all ballots cast. This is a well-known pattern. I heard the same thing but I recall .5%. Either way, a significant number of votes are valid non vote "protest" votes. THE WATSONYOUTH
