I saw a post on Michelle Malkin's site that said to look up congressional districts based on
least education, crime rates, teen pregancies etc to see how they vote. I thought it would
be interesting to look those stats up and see if certain, why-the-hell-are-they-congressmen,
names came up, you know, like Pelosi, Reid, Sheila Jackson Lee...

Find the least educated Districts in Congress.

District is Blue, sucking from the taxpayer and likely to stay blue forever.
This is what uneducated dependent people vote for.
Most of the info I found is grouped by state and city but I found an article that listed the least
educated congressional districts which I cross referenced with wikipedia. The first district
and congressman was no big suprise. After about the third district I started noticing the
demographics of each district...hmmm

I'm not sure what they're basing the demographics on, since they don't add up to 100% but I found it interesting.

You may also notice all of the districts except Jean Green's have Hispanic Congressmen.

I wonder what happens if you add another 20 million uneducated voters to the mix.
