#22 - In a poll conducted by interviewing eligible voters in

[Adam Tyson]

I respectfully disagree, moshearking . It's not much of an assumption to think that someone who finds an election to be important is more likely to vote than someone who does not. An assumption, yes, but not a huge one.

But more importantly, we have to focus on the task given to us in the question stem. Does answer E offer something that might help explain why the poll was inaccurate? Absolutely - a difference in the two groups (those who said they supported one candidate vs those who supported the other) could indeed explain why the poll was wrong. That's all we need to help to resolve the paradox. We don't have to completely resolve it - we just have to find that answer that does what the stem asked for, and that's to select the one answer out of the five choices given that most helps to resolve that paradox. If this answer helps more than any of the other answers, it must be the correct answer, no matter how much we may want to argue with it!
