It never occurred to me before this election that voters without college degrees outnumber those with by 3 to 1.

(I knew 25% of Americans had degrees. I wrote about it in http://paulgraham.com/re.html . But I never imagined the other 75% as a voting bloc.)

Hey Paul. Love your writing, but this doesn't check out. It's 40%+ now and even higher % of voters.http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/percentage-americans-college-degrees-rises-paying-degrees-tops-financial-challenges/ …

How many old people tho, retirees (voters) do not.

about 2/3rds of voters ages 65-74 have some college edu http://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/tables/p20/577/table05_5.xls … younger voters are even likelier to have edupic.twitter.com/1wDg9mFoxK

There is no way 67% of older americans have some college. That is impossible
-
correct. Only ~55% in that age group have some college & ~30% have a college degree. Follow the link & read more carefully.
-
Yea so 30% have a college degree. That seems reasonable and is what the story pretty much says.

In hindsight it was a calamitous mistake not to explore every possible interpretation and implication of that statement.
