The analysis shows that, with respect to the prorating issue (reason 4), the impact of the proportionality was to lower the African American percentage by 0.34 percentage points and also lower the Hispanic percentage by 0.39 percentage points on the master jury wheel. The sample frame issue (reason 5) meant inactive voters were not in the sampling frame for selection to the actual master jury wheel and, as a result, the number of selections on the master jury wheel was lower than it would have been had they been in the sampling frame for selection.13\n\nHowever, the real question is what the impact of this restricted sampling frame on the African American and Hispanic percentages was. I estimate that the African American percentage was reduced by 0.34 percentage points and the Hispanic percentage was reduced by 0.43 percentage points due to the failure to consider inactive voters for the master jury wheel.\n\n33. Thus, the failure to take a simple random sample (i.e., the combination of reasons 4 and 5) resulted in the actual master jury wheel representation of African Americans being 0.68 percentage points lower and Hispanics being 0.82 lower and, as a result, the absolute disparity between the actual master jury wheel and the community was 1.25 for African Americans and 1.15 for Hispanics.\n\n13 The number of persons on the master jury wheel would have increased by 6,270 (or 7.9%). The number of master jury wheel selections from Putnam would have increased by 1,799 (or 7.8%). The number of master jury wheel selections from Rockland would have increased by 3,051 (or 6.7%). The number of master jury wheel selections from Sullivan would have increased by 2,383 (or 13.5%) and the number of master jury wheel selections from Westchester would have increased by 11,841 (or 8.1%).",
