Strange glitch - when I enter the correctly spelled answer for Idaho, I only get 1 electoral vote. When I enter the incorrect spelling, I get an additional 3 votes. So when completed, the only way to get all 538 votes is to provide both answers for Idaho. ?

Aside from the Couer d'Alene issue that others have pointed out:

- Mormons were not "Europeans"

- The New Hampshire clue is quite vague, another correct answer that I tried was "section of Interstate 95". New Hampshire also has the shortest term of office for governors (tied with Vermont), although this doesn't really fit the "not all states have one" part.

Not really though. Former is definitely the precise way to go, but lots of living people used to be something that they no longer are. Use of the past tense doesn't necessitate that the individual is now bereft of life and resting in peace.

Uncle Tom's Cabin was written in Brunswick, Maine while Stowe's husband, famed theologian and abolitionist Calvin Stowe, was a professor at Bowdoin College. The home in which the novel was written was an inn and German restaurant for years before finally being purchased by the college in 2001. The Stowe House that's promoted as a tourist attraction in Hartford, Connecticut is in no way connected to the book except that the author lived there far removed in time from its writing.

It's like linking Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer - both written in Hartford, Connecticut and set in Missouri - to Virginia City, Nevada because Mark Twain lived there once.
