  As someone who has to tally those write-ins for "none of the above," "no  
  one," "nobody," "Mickey Mouse," "Micky Mouse," etc. etc....please, please,  
  PLEASE, if you don't like any of the candidates on a particular line, leave  
  it blank!  In our state at least, write-ins must be tallied by hand, and we  
  have to write EVERY SINGLE name down, including if one person writes  
  "Mickey  
  Mouse" with the "e," and someone else writes "Micky Mouse" without the "e.  
  "  
  In quadruplicate.  :-p
