Good grief, don't they teach programmers any symbolic logic anymore?
All fields empty is the same as not(one of them is filled in).

If $nominee_first_name AND $nominee_middle_initial AND
$nominee_last_name are all empty = If not($nominee_first_name is empty OR
$nominee_middle_initial is empty OR $nominee_last_name is empty)
