My guess is the story is a fake. I really doubt that Mississippi has an average IQ of 85 or that Utah and Idaho have an IQ of 87. I might believe CN has a higher than average IQ but I don't think it would be as high as 113 for the state average. Also similar false claims have been made in the past either as direct fraud or as satire that some people later took to be true. snopes.com snopes.com

Dear Raymond, I would have rather scored '85'in Mississippi and voted Bush instead of scoring '113'in CT and voted Kerry. On lighter note, by the way if you have average / capita IQ of those who voted Bush or Kerry, the number of 3.7 million extra votes for Bush ensures that Bush is the President of people who collectively have much higher / capita collective IQ. You know something called as being street wise, hinterland Americans are great folks and very street wise alongside big IQ people sometime have to shove their egos up. Not a very pleasnt exercise, ask the biggest IQ guys like Prof Krugman and Soros, how its feels to have a big IQ and have all that egg on their face. They could not even feel the nerves of their own countryman.
