This is absolutely correct.
Harry Reid of Nevada, with the "none of the above box" option on the ballot, could still be reelected Senator even if "none of the above" votes outnumber "Harry Reid" votes.
It would be much better to have a rejection box which, if receiving the majority vote, would trigger a mandate for a new election
with all the previous candidates disqualified and incumbents for a particular office on the ballot immediately removed from office. No lame duck poisoning of the well.
