Voting

Every election there are more stories talking about the decreasing percentage of people who vote. I have come up with a brilliant new idea to get people out to the polls:

First of all, I think negative campaigning has resulted in a lot of ill will among voters. Who wants to support someone when all the candidates seem dishonest or sleazy or worse. This is what led to my revolutionary plan.

Since campaigning is overwhelmingly negative, so should voting. I propose that instead of voting for a candidate, you should have the option of voting against the candidate you dislike the most. If no candidate gives you a good enough reason to vote for them, then you should be able to vote against the candidate who displeases you the most.

This will revolutionize politics as we know it. And I see no down side to this. Anyone who says there is a down side is wrong. And as it looks now, I may well be voting against Hillary Clinton in a little over a year.
