Votes Against a #Candidate Should Count

With so many #Republicans running for #president, I feel that voters should be allowed to vote against certain candidates. Even with so few #Democrats running for president, many Democrats are against #HillaryClinton. It could work in a number of ways. One way would be for each voter to have one vote “for” and one “vote” against. When the votes are counted, the negative votes would be subtracted from the pro votes. Here's an example how it might work. If there are a hundred voters and three candiates, there should be 100 “for” votes and 100 “against” votes. One candidate might get 51 “for” votes. Normally he/she would win the election. However, suppose she/he also received 30 “against” votes while another candidate received 30 “for” votes and no “against” votes. Then the second candidate would win—30 to 20. While the second candidate clearly did not have the majority vote, fewer people would be upset with his/her election. Another way it could work is for each voter to vote either “for” OR “against”—one vote. In the above example, there would be 100 votes either for or against. Let's say one candidate received 30 “for” votes and 30 “against votes” while another received 25 “for” votes and zero “against” votes. The second candidate would win. We actually do this in votes on referendums, voting “yes” or “no”

Here is a list of some of the Republican candidates: #JebBush, #ChrisChristie, #TedCruz, #LindseyGraham, #MikeHuckabee, #BobbyJindal, #RandPaul, #RickPerry, #MarcoRubio, #RickSantorum, and #DonaldTrump. The Demonstrates have #HillaryClinton, #MartinO'Malley, #BernieSanders, and #JimWebb among others. Use one “for” vote and one “against “ vote and tell me how you would vote. I vote “against” Trump. I'll hold my “for” vote until after the primary. How about you?
