I am sitting hear reading this thread and laughing. There is no way to
break down an average IQ number for the group of people in any particular
state who voted for Bush or Kerry. To think you can, and to carry on a
debate about it is nothing short of comical.

That's not what the list is purported to represent. It represents the average
IQ levels in each state. Yes, some very bright people undoubtedly voted for
George Bush, along with some dumb as dirt. Exactly the same thing can be said
for Kerry voters.

The only thing that is interesting is that the list actually does demonstrate a
general tendency for the majority of voters in the states purported to have
higher average IQ's to favor Kerry.

We know, for example, that residents of New Hampshire are shown on the "real
list" as having a higher average IQ than the residents of Mississippi. We can
also measure how the majority of people in that state voted by whether the
electoral votes were given to Bush or Kerry. If the list is correct, and we
know how the electoral votes were allocated, the discussion is not only
possible but at least slightly entertaining.

This doesn't mean that the dumbest person in New Hampshire is still brighter
than the smartest one in Mississippi, or indicate how any individual person in
any state or at any IQ level voted in the election.
