23. I find this hard to believe
50% of the general population has an IQ between 90 and 110, with 100 being the mean. 25% have IQ's over 110 and 25% have IQ's below 90. Below 70 is considered mentally retarded and those people make up only 3% of the general population. 80 to 90 is considered "low average" and 70 to 80 is considered "borderline" retarded. As bad as things are in Mississippi, I really don't see how the average IQ of the voters is could be that low (85). For one thing, I doubt that there are many voters with IQ's lower than 80.
