In 1979 Louisiana
congressional candidate Luther Devine Knox tried to change his name to None of
the Above so that the phrase could appear on the ballot.
His hope was that voters could then vote symbolically
to reject the whole slate. “The people of this country have never had a free
election,” he said in 1991. “We don’t have a right to reject candidates.”
The attorney general stopped him.
