A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states?

[Duke David]

The items listed above are the ten most "successful" bellwether states.

Click on those three states whose inhabitants (or state legislature, respectively) voted for the "right" candidate most frequently.

PS: What matters is not the popular vote, but the eventually winning candidate.

Answer:

#1 New Mexico (92,0%)
#2 Illinois (83,3%)
#3 Ohio (82,7%)

Thanks to everyone who cast their vote.

Intuitively, I'd say IL, NM and OH.

I'll give you a hint:

At least one of your suggestions is correct.

[Duke David]

I know which state virtually never voted "wrong".

You'll never guess right. HARHARHAR

[Duke David]

Ohio, Illinois, and California.

At least one correct answer, Snowstalker.

[Duke David]

I'm certain one is California and another is Illinois.

One of them is correct, the other one is wrong.

[Duke David]

California and Ohio?

The same as before: One is correct, one is wrong.

[Duke David]

Ohio and Illinois?

According to rules of Boolean logic, either both are correct or both are wrong.

[Duke David]

In order for this to be guessable, more information is needed. Personally, I voted for NM, NV, and OH. However, given the information thus far, that is impossible.

You ought to know the answer by intuition.

As of right now, the possibilities are:

CA, NM, AZ
CA, NM, MT
CA, NM, NV
CA, NM, NY
CA, NM, PA
CA, NM, UT

OH, IL, AZ
OH, IL, MT
OH, IL, NV
OH, IL, NY
OH, IL, PA
OH, IL, UT
OH, IL, NM

What a waste of time.

I can reassure you: You've listed the correct combination.

[Duke David]

IL, OH, PA

Not bad, but still wrong.

[Duke David]

OH, IL, NM?

Who knows?

[Duke David]

The voting has closed.

Thanks to everyone who took part in this quiz.
