One of the minor party planks is to have a "none of the above" choice for
any office. My bet is that half of the congressional seats in this race
would have been won by None Of The Above.

Hardly. Not voting at all is indistinguishable from apathy or laziness;
many who don't vote are simply content with any likely outcome. In
contrast, a blank vote (or voting for a protest candidate) shows an
affirmative effort to express dissatisfaction. If "blank" were to receive
a majority of the votes cast, the message would be profoundly different
than if most people just stayed home.
