According to CNN:

WHERE IN THE WORLD
Among 18- to 24-year-old Americans given maps:

87 percent cannot find Iraq

83 percent cannot find Afghanistan

76 percent cannot find Saudi Arabia

70 percent cannot find New Jersey

49 percent cannot find New York

11 percent cannot find the United States

Okay, maybe I couldn’t find Afghanistan on an unlabeled world map — they don’t teach that in junior high. But the UNITED STATES? AMERICAN ADULTS WHO ARE ALLOWED TO VOTE CAN’T FIND THE USA ON A MAP?

Fortunately, they probably can’t figure out how to use the voting machines anyway.
