   As someone who has to tally those write-ins for "none of the above," "no    
   one," "nobody," "Mickey Mouse," "Micky Mouse," etc. etc....please, please,    
   PLEASE, if you don't like any of the candidates on a particular line, leave    
   it blank!  In our state at least, write-ins must be tallied by hand, and we    
   have to write EVERY SINGLE name down, including if one person writes "Mickey    
   Mouse" with the "e," and someone else writes "Micky Mouse" without the "e."     
   In quadruplicate.  :-p
