Just make up you're damned mind already and stick with one thing!

Seriously. My all-remote company has historically used Hangouts for meetings but they keep moving everything around. We can't constantly be taking time to keep up with it, we have actual work to do over here. Google keeps proving itself undependable, and that's a great way to lose at B2B.

I think I know what you're getting at. Consider this:

  • - There are 10 votes. 4 for party A, 3 for party B, and 3 for null. That means neither A nor B get a majority. In many cases this would trigger a runoff.
  • - The three in the previous case who voted null just stay home. 4 for party A and 3 for party B means ~57% for A, who then gets a majority.

You could imagine more values which would represent "other", "invalid choice", "explicitly undecided", etc.

To be fair, not pushing a button on that part of the machine isn't strictly equivalent to an explicit "none of the above" (more equivalent to just staying home). Perhaps leaving it blank whether you go to the polls or not ought to count as a choice - it might get some politicians to stop using low turnout as a campaign strategy.
