I wonder what the election map would look like if only the top 10% of SAT testers voted.

Performance on IQ tests has a lot to do with socioeconomics. That’s different than actual IQ. There is very much a gap between what we are trying to measure and the results we actually measure. IQ is technically not hard science, but it is one of the most documented realities of social science. The humanities deny the repeatability of IQ testing more aggressively than anything else. I completely agree being “intelligent” is not exactly causal or correlated to “good” politics

IQ also has a lot to do with socioeconomics. And it just reads how fast you can process/regurgitate information, sometimes things should take time to process and sometimes things don’t have a clear answer like it does in maths or science. I understand the point, but being “intelligent” isn’t exactly a factor in how “good” your politics are.
