That's not quite equivalent. An eligible voter not voting might be one who didn't have time to get their drivers licence address updated, or who didn't have time between work and looking after kids to go to the polls, or who was unexpectedly sick, or who didn't care enough to know what was being voted on, or who didn't like any of the options. A voter who voted and said 'None of you' has provably made an affirmative choice to say they don't like any of the options.

The guy who chooses to vote "none of the above" might just have more free time than another guy who doesn't consent to any candidate but didn't make it to the polling location.
