This is the one argument against voting for an obvious choice that should have been unanimous I have heard over the years that makes sense to me.
The guys who just don't think anyone deserves 100% of the vote should not be allowed to vote at all. It was just as ridiculous when Babe Ruth was left off some ballots as it has been with most other first ballot HOFers.
