Abstaining from voting is not an expression of anything but lazyness.
Showing up and handing in unfilled ballot is an expression of opinion - and sends out a message.
The message is to people thinking about running that there is room for new people and to the people in charge that they are not doing a good enough job.
Most unlikely that Americans will be as careful as the Swedish - they will probably outsource it to the lowest bidder - who ends up throwing it in the ocean somewhere in South America.
*: Pink Goo is mankind. It replicates relatively slowly, but some people think it will nevertheless fill any amount of space given enough time. In the pink goo worldview the spread of humanity is a catastrophe and space exploration opens up the possibility of the entire galaxy or the universe getting filled up with Pink Goo - the ultimate crime, something to be stopped at any cost.

Of course they should no be able to access it without permission - which I'm pretty sure they do not have (depends on which country)
Why not embed a small tracking device in the guns you require people to carry.
That way if somebody doesn't have a valid tracker or if they break the law - it can just start beeping - then everyone can just shoot the freedom hating terrorist.

We don't use voting machines in Iceland - and blank ballots are counted separately from those that are faulty and always reported on.
I would say any other way is very undemocratic.

which sounds promising but of course they should have an official way to do this.
No official way to upgrade + random restarts + surprising fineprint = evil.
Ahhh... the microsoft motto
Be evil.
There is no other way to put this
As someone who used to have a cat - I know this is true - was always to afraid to voice that opinion. The might have learnt how to read them cats.
