12. I have to disagree

The freedom of others to decide not to vote, whether its because its actually a 'none-of-the-above' vote or just because they don't feel like it, is equally a fundamental right as it is to vote.

Although I can understand the frustration in knowing that if more folks got out and voted the Democratic party would win more often. Nevertheless I respect the rights of others equally. I think that is one of the hallmarks of a civilized society.
