:::: Does http://www.ccsu.edu/AMLC06/Political_Literacy.htm work for meaningful data? You can also examine the methodology of the study (something very useful in making any claim). On the other hand, you are making the claim above and as I understand it, "the burden is on the person who makes the claim that something happened to support."[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Wikipedia&diff=291546&oldid=291536] --[[User:Rutm|Rutm]] 13:59, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

:::::[http://abcnews.go.com/WN/LegalCenter/story?id=4342759&page=1 ''Out of the Shadows, Overcoming Illiteracy'']ABC News (26 Feb 2008): "In nearby Grand Rapids, a city of 184,000, one out of every five residents has difficulty reading or cannot read at all." The interesting thing about that very significant illiteracy rate is that despite being surrounded by traditional conservative strongholds, the city itself is surprisingly Democratic: "the city tends to elect Democrats. Both of its representatives in the Michigan State House of Representatives are Democrats, and in the past two presidential elections Democratic candidates Al Gore and John Kerry won the majority of votes in the city of Grand Rapids." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Rapids%2C_Michigan#Government_and_politics] Okay, so that's just one example, hardly enough to convince the skeptics, but I'm sure there are many more.
