The question is too vague to give a decent answer to. It depends heavily on the details of what the "none of the above" option means.
What happens if "none of the above" gets the most votes?
Do all the parties have to come up with new candidates and have another election?
Can the parties run the same person for the subsequent election or is that person barred from showing up on the ballot again?
If they're barred from showing up again, for how long?
What happens to that office until the repeat elections can be held? Does the current candidate stay in power? What if term limits prevent that? Does the office just sit empty?
A " None Of The Above " majority would require another election. Anybody could still run.

No one.

I wouldn't mind, but would this affect anything positively? If politicians see higher than average amounts of "none-of-the-above" votes are they likely to act any differently than if all those who cast "none-of-the-above" had simply sat out? I'm not sure they would.
Would you support a " None Of The Above " option for every list of candidates for election
How many would support a "None Of The Above" line below candidates for every elected position. I'm Green, third Party, and think many people are dissatisfied with the currnet and past crops of candidates, especially at the National level.

One big difference is that you've demonstrated that you're willing to go in to actually vote, vice just never voting anyways. This means there are votes to get.
That could cause problems. Elections take awhile.

I'd rather we have a ranked choice voting system.
A "none of these" option could be included, but I think ranked choice would better reflect the opinion of voters.

It's stupid. What happens if "none of the above" wins?
The major parties would realize that their choice of candidates is flawed and would have to select candidates with more populist appeal instead of Corporate appeal. That's the point. It is to put the power of the "people" back in politics.

But, you didn't understand the question. Let's say that the presidential election in 2016 had a choice of "none of the above" and that choice won. The election is over. None of the above won. Who is going to be president? Or, are you saying that if "none of the above" wins then you rerun the election until there is a real person winner, theoretically with different candidates? Or, do you let Obama continue being president for a while or just run the country with no president until one is elected?
