Good, then you DO have a citation to back up that preposterous claim?

Bush II received approximately one-half of the vote of the approximately
60% [1] of the eligible voters who voted. That is approximately 30% of the
eligible voters choosing Bush II, or less than one-third.

40% did not choose either Kerry or Bush II, thereby indicating their
preference for "none of the above".

Your math is sound. Your conclusion, in my opinion, is not. You give those
folks who didn't vote too much credit. I don't believe they were making the
statement, "none of the above" at all. I believe they were making the
statement, "whatever you think is OK with me" or, "I don't care, pass the
(beer, drugs)" or "I'm just too plain lazy."
