None of the Above Passes

80 year old L.D. "None of the Above" Knox died Wednesday in North Louisiana. The Winnsboro native legally changed his middle name in 1979 adding 'None of the Above'. Knox said that he wanted to give Louisiana voters a choice to call a new election if they didn't care for any of the candidates running. He never did win an election but came close in the 1960s losing his bid for State Rep by 18 votes. The NY Times has a full story on Knox's life and career.
