	How about this as an alternative:  For every position up for election,
you are given the list of candidates AND ONE OTHER CHOICE: "NONE OF THE ABOVE".
(And I don't want to hear about Sister Mary Boom-Boom either.)  If "NONE OF THE
ABOVE" wins the election, we do it over (within some kind of limits), and the
previous candidates are DISALLOWED.

Might I suggest you check out the Libertarian platform? One of their standard
planks is the "NO" vote. It works like your "NONE OF THE ABOVE," except that
if NO should win, the office is left empty.
