Maybe this would work with a European style Parliament but I don't think that "None of the Above" would work with our system of government.

What happens if "NA" were to win an election? Obviously another election would have to be held, maybe with new candidates. But primaries and election campaigns can take a year or more. Who occupies the office in the meantime? The incumbent? Some unelected trustee? And what happens if NA wins again?

It could go on literally for years.
