I disagree with your first paragraph. I was a Board Member when "None of the Above" was introduced. I was also often on NomCom. The simple idea behind "None of the Above" is simply that - None of the above - that's everyone (natural persons) listed on that ballot. It's not just for the case where t

"none of the above" is there for a reason, it in itself is an entity. If it was not there what would the purpose of voting be if I did not agree with any of the candidates? It in its self is a "candidate" and it won. It is there for a real reason and is perfectly democratic. How else would you vot
