    Nobody likes Trump. Nobody likes Hillary.

    Maybe if a predetermined percentage of registered voters refuses to vote on election day, we throw out the nominees, reset the process, and hold another election within 120 days.

    Well, if a large enough percentage of voters vote either for Johnson or Stein, then we basically get that.

    If no one get the required number of electoral college votes, the sitting congress get to chose between the top EC voter getters, via the 12th Amendment.

    Something is really amiss, here. I am being forced to vote for Hillary just to try to make sure Trump doesn't become pres. I don't like that notion even a little bit.

    I know the feeling, I don't think I have voted for a POTUS in a long time, mainly I vote against one of the top two..
