Marriage, Illegitimacy & Politics

Comment to Steve Sailer: For a somewhat more enlightening analysis of how marriage and illegitimacy correlates with politics, see this USA Today article from nine years.

Excerpts:

“House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, a Catholic mother of five from San Francisco, has fewer children in her district than any other member of Congress: 87,727. Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, a Mormon father of eight, represents the most children: 278,398.”

“GOP Congress members represent 39.2 million children younger than 18, about 7 million more than Democrats. Republicans average 7,000 more children per district.”

“Rep. José Serrano, D-N.Y., has 227,246 children in his Bronx district, the 10th most in the House. Only 29% of those children live with married parents. By contrast, 84% of children live with married parents in Cannon’s central Utah district.”

“Democrats control only one of the 50 districts with the highest marriage rates.”

And now watch as the Democrat lays on the bullshit:

“Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., who represents the most-married Democratic district (32nd overall), discounts the importance of the marriage rates. ‘It’s a statistic without meaning,” he says. “If you look at numbers from enough different angles, you can see almost anything.’”

Got that? 49 of the 50 most-married congressional districts are Republican and that supposedly means nothing.
