Numbers

I made a mistake yesterday on the number of Carbon County voters who do not have picture ID.  The Times News article today by Amy Miller quoted Commissioner O'Gurek, who noted that 2,286 Carbon voters do not have a driver's license.  That's about 500 more than I posted.


While I'm quoting statistics, here's a few more from the latest issue of Harper's:
--Percentage of Americans who believe that anti-American speech should be protected by the Constitution...45
--Minimum number of U.S. states whose constitutions forbid atheists from holding public office...6
--Number of private U.S. citizens killed in terrorists attacks in 2010...15
--Number killed by falling televisions...16
