Given that all of the political ads this year are either negative or totally stupid ideas, wouldn't it make more sense to have our votes reflect the negative nature of political campaigns?
What if we change the voting system to where we no longer vote FOR our favorite candidates, but cast our votes AGAINST the one we do not want under any circumstances, and let the winner be the one with the fewest votes? Would this bring our system more in keeping with the nature of the campaigns? Could it be an indirect method of campaign finance reform, by encouraging candidates to keep as quiet as possible, which doesn't cost any money?
Discuss.

But what if you get ZERO votes? Are you the best candidate?
It is an intriguing idea, however

That way some complete psycho like me for instance could run and not say a word about what I believe or stand for and then win and enslave everyone.
