Gould,

I am glad you enjoyed the link, but you need to learn how to read the chart.

The states in the individual average IQ are alphabetically, not ranked by
order.
So there can not be a top 10.

So in the top tier 102 - 104 average IQ range there are 16 states in that
range.

Of those 16 states 9 voted for Kerry
7 voted for Bush.

The range for the top 34 states was 4 points
46 states was 7 points
50 states was 10 points

Where the hoax showed a difference of 28 points.

You also missed a very important note at the bottom " The most likely reason
for the lower IQ's in southern states is their significant Black population.
African-Americans consistently test at an average 85 IQ level."






Generally substantiates the "hoax" post!

The top four on the "real" site are blue states in 2004.

Eight of the top ten on the "real' site are blue states.

Ten of the top sixteen are blue states.

Only three blue states in the "bottom 15".

Thanks for the link, very enjoyable. :-)
