Question 901574: 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 randomly selected national voter? why or why not? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The voter would certainly be randomly selected, but there would be a bias toward residents of states with lower populations. That is, a given Montana resident would be more likely to be selected than any given California resident.
