Question 753643: Among the 50 states, one state is randomly selected. Then, a statewide voter registration list is obtained and one name is randomly selected. Does this procedure result in a randomly selected national voter? Why or why not? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source):
No, because a state with a small statewide voter registration list is
just as likely to be picked as a state with a large statewide voter
registration list. Therefore a voter in a state with a small statewide
voter registration list is much more likely to be picked that a voter in
a state with a large statewide voter registration list.
