People always talk about that, but I'm really not sure it sends a message at all. Or at least, not one that's heard by anyone who matters. Maybe if turnout were catastrophically low, like 1000 people nationwide voted in the election, it would make a difference. But in the real world, if all the disillusioned people stay home, the hardcore supporters of each side still go out, somebody wins and it's business as usual. As long as they win, I doubt too many politicians worry much about raw number of votes they received.
I suppose a "none of the above" option on the ballot would help some. At least you'd get a solid count of the number of people who took the time to go to the polls and say "both of these guys suck".
