The definition of the population wasn't clear in the quote. Note that the actual definition doesn't support the "more public charters" conclusion because the breakdown of the turn downs tells us nothing about the relative number of accepts and turn downs. (Of course, the preferences of the "turn downs" are likely to be at odds with the preferences of the folks who accepted.)
Still, the fact that 20% of the folks who turned down vouchers did so because their kids got into public charters doesn't imply that we shouldn't have vouchers.
I happen to think that we should have more public charters. Since vouchers can let parents choose public charter schools for their kids....
