I seen a good one on the vine this am by a poster about election choices. Have your candidates listed like the presidency.
Ballot a [???????
ballot b [???????
ballot c [none of the above.
If ballot c wins none of the candidates in a or b can run in the next voting for that office.
The poster said they have it in other countries. I do not know which ones.
