If the 10 percent voting represented a true cross section of the nation's
citizens, the results are likely to be the same as if 90 percent voted. So
I don't see a problem. Those who do polling invariably take a much smaller
sample than 10 percent of the whole and are confident of the results representing
the whole. 

Or I'm I missing something?
