NOTA has not defeated any candidate yet, but every candidate is running against NOTA.
This has been the clear meaning for several years and was why we started to include NOTA on the ballots years ago.  We wanted to be sure that each candidate is in fact running, and that this is a true election and not merely a symbolic gesture.  You may want to consult with Avri (the NCSG Chair before me) and Rafk (NCSG Chair after me) to confirm that this has been the interpretation of NOTA since NCSG was created.

Thanks,
Robin
