Above Knox
4. None of The Above Knox: changed to protest the lack of candidate choices 改名为以上皆非·诺克斯：抗议候选人选择权的丧失。
Luther Divine Knox, a rather colorful politician from Winnsboro, attracted national media attention in 1979 when he legally changed his name to "None of the Above" Knox to protest the lack of candidate choices. Knox claimed that the absence of choices led to the selection of the "lesser of two evils." He proposed that voters be given the "None of the Above" option if they reject the declared candidates for office.
卢瑟·圣·诺克斯，来自温斯伯勒的一名极为开明的政治家于1979年吸引了全国媒体的注意。他合法改名为"以上皆非"·诺克斯抗议候选人选择权的丧失。诺克斯声称由于大多数人不具有候选人选择权，这让选举成为"两害相权取其轻"。他提议如果投票者们反对已宣布的几位候选人上任，他们应该被给予"以上皆非"这一选项。
Though he never won an election, Knox forcefully crusaded to include "None of the Above" on ballots to enhance voter choice.
即便诺克斯从未赢得一次选举，他极为努力地为提升投票者的选择权而奋斗，使投票选择项中包括"以上皆非"。
