Actually, I'm not too interested in the 50% threshold, but many Libertarians are and I want to make it clear that Approval is compatible with a none-of-the-above concept. Tying it to the turnout would undoubtedly result in very low Approval percentages for all candidates. With the 50% threshold, voting a blank ballot and not voting are no longer equivalent. ===== Rob LeGrand [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aggies.org/robl/ for Texas State Representative, District 50 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
