What is the percentage of registered voters to eligible voters? If at least a quorum isn't registered by the registration deadline, delay the election by 2 months until a quorum at least gets registered.

You'd need a None of The Above option to differentiate between people who specifically want to vote for no one and people who don't want to vote for President at all but submitted their ballot so they could vote for other offices.

There's no distinction.  Whether the voter wants to proactively declare they find all the options reprehensible or just aren't interested, they're still a person that cast a ballot that wasn't into the electoral winner being president.

With this system in place, as much as people might vote for none of the candidates in whatever form they choose vs. not turning in a ballot at all, maybe my minimum % of the popular vote would have to be like 25% or so.

I think this will discourage participation in local elections. People who do not want to vote for Pres may elect not to vote at all.

They'd turn in their ballot w/the bubbles filled in for whatever local elections they're interested in.  Their lack of voting or even looking at the presidential bubbles simply properly reflects their lack of support for any candidate, which is what the minimum % threshold bar is there to accomplish - determining whether there is at least minimal support from the country that the electoral winner should be president.  25-40% of people who cast ballots is a pretty low bar.

If your goal is to capture all the people who do not support any of the candidates, then all the people who did not turn in a ballot (but would have been eligible voters) should also be counted. There should not be a difference between people who made an effort to vote for local offices but not for Pres and people who did not fill out a ballot at all.

Mrs. Clinton’s average margin over Mr. Trump of five points has been enough to make her the first candidate to maintain a durable lead in an open presidential race since Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated Adlai Stevenson in 1952.

Quote
In a Florida survey, 84 percent of Trump voters said that Mrs. Clinton should be in prison, and 40 percent said she was a demon.

Hillary has a chance to be the first woman AND the first demon president. Truly a historic election.

No crap, but we've all lol'd at weirdo trump supporters and there's more out there than you think. Ppl from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, KS, and Missouri go to roaring river to fish. I was around psychos all weekend. I know these are red states, but there were bundles of these hillbillies out there this weekend.

Pretty much every poll conducted in the last week shows the race tightening, with trump even pulling ahead in FL, CO and NV. If he continues that momentum and snags NC he could win (i think, havent run the numbers).

If Trump wins, we're in trouble. Not because he'll be president, but the extreme leftist will try to riot and take over the government. There's nothing more dangerous than a whiny left wing liberal not getting his own way. it's scary.
