Milton, (anyone?)

I agree that this is how it is now supposed to work, but what happens if 
someone votes for all candidates, and NOTA?
NOTE: Also, not voting for a particular candidate does not automatically 
mean that that voter will also vote NOTA. That is a voter's decision.

Also, since NOTA is applied against all candidate vote tallies there is 
a question left hanging.
Does this mean that a ballot with full candidate support and a NOTA vote 
also counts to tally NOTA totals, and a candidate with low support may 
be defeated?
Or, does it mean that the whole ballot from that voter is spoiled?
Seeking clarity here.
