If you were given the option to vote AGANIST something, or FOR something, which way would you vote and why?
Suppose in a Presidential election you were given a 2nd set of options. You could either vote FOR any one of the cadidates, or AGANIST any one of the cadidates. You only get one vote to work with, if you vote aganist someone, it counts as a negative vote, effectively canceling out a FOR vote at a 1:1 ratio. If you're voting between only 2 choices this would be essentially pointless, of course. But when choosing between 3 or more options, this would let someone say "I don't care between these 2, but I really don't want the third one"
Under a system like this, how would you vote? FOR? or AGANIST? and why would you vote that way? and what are your feelings about using such a system?

That's actually a really interesting concept. I think that I'd use that AGAINST vote more often than a FOR. There's been lots of times that I've said to myself "I really don't care if one of them get it, but please NOT him!" I think you should contact your senator.
