Political Trivia Quiz

Note: the quiz was published September 10 - that's important to know for one of the questions.

I'm ashamed to say I only scored 58%. LJ will surely do FAR better!

Yeah well I got 37%.... and knowing the date of the quiz wasn't important in the least!

74%. Some (most?) of those questions really are trivial.
GAH!

I figured out what state were looking for in the answer to question 2:
What state has a Senate seat that’s never been held by a Democrat?
But their answer is actually wrong. (They forgot about party switch; the correct answer is "none of the above".)

He went Independent, but caucused with the Democrats. He was not a Democrat.

95%, but that's not really fair. I was educated in Canada. :nana Had to guess on question 14, got that wrong.
Personally, I don’t believe in bros before hoes, or hoes before bros. There needs to be a balance. A homie-hoe-stasis, if you will.

I got 58%; disappointing, but...oh, well... :shrug

Seeing which posters got scores as bad as or worse than me makes me feel less ashamed. ;)
