Re^3: Randomly choosing from a set of alternatives with varying popularity

The reciprocal approach definitely gives me what I had in mind, more so than computing the non-voters. That's what I'll use. Thanks.

(Incidentally, should your comment above read "invert by division, proportion of voters", or am I missing something?)

It's a matter of perspective, `(proportion of non-voters) = 1-(proportion of voters)` If there is a better wording, I'd be happy to hear it.
