Proposal
If the voter has one
choice and disagrees, the blank vote would not show the voter disagrees. It
would only show non-participation, no-interest, un-decided etc.
I suggest should be a blank for REJECT or such to show not wanting the
person or issue confirmed.

On course, blank vote is
there. You simple leave all fields blank (no
check), or all fields blank (or mark with an N) in a range vote.
And you can at the same time nominate your alternative candidates.
