Looks to me like the states with what I suspect are huges amounts of immigrants have some of the lowest literacy. Makes me wonder if they are giving immigrants that don't speak English and were educated outside of the US the test and going "yep, these immigrants are illiterate" and those results are skewing the results.

Yes, I'm sure that there are folks that are American born and raised that dropped out of school, or didn't care and weren't pushed to learn by parents or whoever.
