None of the above

The Boston Globe reports on an intriguing bill being considered this week by the Massachusetts legislature. If it passes, voters in that state would have the option on the ballot of voting "none of the above; for a new election" on each race. If that option gets the most votes, a new election will be held within 60 to 80 days until a suitable candidate is elected. It would be binding to every race but a presidential election.

Pretty thought-provoking -- no more unopposed elections and a racheting-up of the accountability factor. How would this work in Arkansas? With a little discontent coupled with our small population base and term limits, we might run out of people to put on the ballot.
