exactly. when was the last time any news media made an issue out of the number of spoiled or protest votes? but when mass people protest by not voting entirely and eligible voters/actual voters ratio is so skewed, it's impossible to ignore. when voter apathy is as high as it was in the last Alberta election it makes all the candidates look bad, much more than any spoiled ballot
