What if both candidates got a negative total? what would you propose when that happens? I'd say neither wins
Problem (or bonus?) with the negative vote system is that it would let a lot of third parties have a solid chance. If the two major candidates assail each other all the live long day. Then a third party candidate might not attract any negative votes and BAM we got governor Nader of Wisconsin. Something like this might happen (assuming say ... 10000 votes to keep it simple).
If you can vote either negative against a candidate, or positive for, but not both ....
Candidate A: 2500 positive votes and 2490 negative votes
Candidate B: 2450 positive votes and 2300 negative votes
Nader: 240 positive votes and 20 negative votes
