Why don't politicians and the media remind people they can leave blanks on the ballot?

Asked by JLeslie (65420points) August 16th, 2016 from iPhone

It seems there is some talk that voter turnout will be low, because people don’t like the presidential nominees in their party. The republicans especially are worried they could lose seats in congress.

If people don’t want to vote for president, they still can show up to vote for their congressman, school superintendents, local judges, and for any propositions on the ballot, and leave the president section blank.

If I were a republican candidate I would be reminding people. Or, Fox News. Or, Jeb Bush who said he would not be voting.
