I think the problem here is equating being "good with numbers" to intelligence. There are many other facets of intelligence that may produce different results regarding political bias. Yes, I understand the article was specifically dealing with math intelligence and quantitative reasoning but I think to get the entire picture we need to look at those who are intelligent in spatial reasoning, memorization, deduction, etc. To completely ignore other forms of intelligence doesn't really do this article any justice.
