This is actually a great idea, provided that "none of the above"
is an option in the ballot and that the winner is elected by
simple majority with the "none of ..." votes counted.
I wonder if the script writers for that Richard Pryor's movie
actually read something about voting theories. By the way,
one of the defects in the US system is that a "duopoly" of
parties can stay in the power even if the simple majority doesn't
like it.
