http://www.dontvote.org/; grimm13, those people are politically important.

It's also important to be able to distinguish politicians from celebrities.

If you answer I don't know to the 6 celebrities that don't matter much in US politics (moore, limbaugh, and leno do matter, I would argue) then you score 96% if you answer everything else right. That's reasonable.

perrymason, maybe it's easy because you know enough to vote. This test isn't meant to set the bar high, just some bare minimums.
