There has been quite a bit of discussion on the practical pros and cons of this idea, and a group in Taiwan has been attempting to implement it for years. It is also under consideration in [https://www.facebook.com/groups/BalancedBallotBerkeley/ Berkeley]] and [https://www.negative.vote/ another team]] is trying to raise money for a national drive in the USA; however, there is considerable disagreement about the details of implementation: should it be the version I originally described, or should every voter get '''''both''''' a positive vote '''''and''''' a negative one, or should it be combined with a "proportional representation" ballot in some way? I would love to dig into this topic, if anyone else is interested.
