Based on those figures, it's a) not an accurate representation and b) it's unfair. I mean, we don't see these same people go to movie theaters to see if these same kids can buy tickets to R-rated movies.

It's not really accurate considering that:

-of the 25 stores they went to, more than half they only went to one time!

-26 of 58 is basically 45%, still less than half. Quite frankly, I'd be more impressed if the numbers were say, 75% of 350 attempts.

I have a couple of questions(I don't think they would have the guts to answer them, but that's another story):

-How successful were the 15 and 16-year-olds? the 9 to 11-year-olds?
My theory here is that the closer to 17 the person is, the more likely the clerk will let that person buy the game.

-Why go to a particular store only once? That makes no sense whatsoever.

I think that Gov. Granholm(and certain Democrats) wanted the results skewed heavily in favor of their point of view. Which makes the survey politically motivated, politically biased garbage.

You're right - the sample is not meaningful statistically. Politically, however, it's dynamite.
