In a random sample of 215 potential voters registered in the state of Kentucky, 107 indicated that they planned to vote in the next general election.  In an independently chosen, random sample of 210 potential voters registered in South Carolina, 77 indicated that they planned to vote in the next general election.  Can we conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all potential voters in Kentucky who plan to vote is greater than the proportion p2 of all potential voters in South Carolina who plan to vote? Perform a one-tailed test.
