Duh.... I don't understand what it's talkin' about... duh... I'm from stupid Utah.

I'm glad the original publisher retracted it saying the data was unable to be verified and possibly a hoax.

Sorry, total hoax. Here are some more realistic numbers, and the resulting vote chart.

Actual IQ tests aren't regularly administered to any state's population that I know of, but Idahoans tend to do well on ACT/SATs. (We also have a higher per capita GDP than France, Germany, Great Britain or the EU.)
