New election system

What do you think of this - you use paper ballots, list all of the canidates - put an X next to the one's that you DON'T want and the least objectionable person wins :)

1. How about "none of the above"

we could survive without a president for four years.

2. IRV

IRV accomplishes this...rank your choices and those whom you DON'T want just don't include in the ranking. This is really the best system and I'm hopeful that it will be used in ALL elections someday soon.

3. Sounds a bit like the old Greek way

Selecting a "Yes" vote for one candidate and selecting a "No" vote for another candidate a "get-this-guy-out-of-here" vote.
