Election Results Based On Average IQ

[Undertoad]

I have seen this before and it seems fishy, so I did a little Googling and found out that it's partly a hoax.

The actual ranking based on SAT & ACT scores:

104 IQ New Hampshire

103 IQ Oregon, Massachusetts, Wisconsin

102 IQ Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Vermont, Washington

101 IQ Alaska, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Utah, Wyoming

100 IQ Arizona, California, Idaho, Maine, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, West Virginia

99 IQ Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana

98 IQ Florida, Arkansas

97 IQ Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas

96 IQ New Mexico

95 IQ District of Columbia

94 IQ Mississippi, South Carolina

The numbers still correlate but not quite so well... better to income:
