How many of those candidates would someone vote for or rank? Maybe about 1, if they have any taste. And, you know, sometimes the best statement that you can make is to not vote, unless NOTA is added. Don't rank all the candidates just because rank balloting is used. Including someone in your ranking implies acceptance of them, just as voting for a Democrat or Republican validates that "choice". I personally feel that, with a good voting system, like Approval, NOTA isn't needed. But the lineup you listed might deserve a NOTA vote, though of course the article didn't tell all about all the candidates. Of the candidates described, Singleton seems the only one who deserves a vote. But, as I said, from the article, we might not have enough information about him either.
