The table on the site listed below seems to show 'evidence' that people who voted Republican have a lower IQ than those who voted Democrat. Can this 'conclusion' be justified?
Does it matter?

Remember John Kerry had a lower GPA at Yale than George W did.
Enough said.

not one of the Liberals who responded bothered to study the study. It concluded that R's lost many intellectuals and attracted extra regularly happening IQ's at the same time as D's attracted both intense IQ's and espresso IQ's. the author also admitted that the study changed into incorrect through too small a pattern. Did that end them from spewing their rhetoric? The study also fails to consider all those those who vote for his or her own entitlements, salaries, pensions and well being care it somewhat is paid for through somebody else. This crew of Democrats help their own way of existence. Liberals declare they help searching after others.

Firstly, sir, you have to be sure your target audience know what a Republican is. Secondly, if there is more than an imaginary difference between both. To the outsider, we cannot tell the difference. For instance, which one is GW Bush, say? Anyway, sir, most importantly, I think I can confidently speak on behalf of 80% of Britons, we don't really give a F**T. That is all in capital print.

People with a lower IQ may be more likely to be an old fashioned conservative and stick to what they know. People with a higher IQ may be more likely to be a big mouth lefty with new ideas and liberal views.

Typically statistics are posed in a way that you can prove whatever you are saying. There seems to be a correlation in the evidence, which is very interesting, but I don't know exactly what can be concluded without a more in-depth study.

The high IQ states are richer, have better education systems, and have more diversity of cultures and opinions, so they tend to be less rightwing than the poorer, less educated, less diverse states. Such a class of people would be less nimble in detecting deceitful manipulation, less aware of their own interests, more willing to vote their predjudices, and so on....

I think the whole Republican circle has a lower I.Q. Scarry thought if that was actually true.

been justified over and over. There is a reason that Republicans complain that college campuses are liberal. That is where smart people hang out!
