"I have no preference how I die."

-vs-

"I find any method of death equal unacceptable."

Yes, it's true everyone dies, but we're not talking about death and it's obvious that it's possible to have a voting system that's able to tell the difference between indifference, objection, and support of the potential candidates/parties in a general election.

With most voting systems if a single person votes, it's a valid election. If the majority decent, it's still a valid election.

It should be that if the majority decent, the election is nullified - otherwise it's a recipe for a toxic political environment.
