It’s primary season, and while President Obama isn’t facing any significant challenge in the Democratic primaries (unless you consider Vermin Supreme a significant challenge), the GOP has quite a battle going on. Today, on Super Tuesday, voters will cast their ballots in Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia. Will Romney maintain his lead in the delegate count, or will Santorum come surging from behind? Find out in this sample LSAT logic game. Results guaranteed. Or not.
(Also, if you’re waiting for a February LSAT score, it’s down to today or tomorrow. Good luck!)
