Equidistribution of polynomial roots modulo primes with root-count normalization

Let f\beZ[X]f\be\in\mathbf{Z}[X] be a monic irreducible polynomial of degree at least 22. Let Πf(x)\Pi_f(x) denote the set of primes pxp\leqslant x for which ff has at least one root modulo pp, and let Δp\Delta_p be the uniform probability measure on the roots of ff modulo pp. Equidistribution conjecture. The measures

1Πf(x)px\pQΔp\frac{1}{|\Pi_f(x)|}\sum_{\substack{p\leqslant x\p\in\mathcal{Q}}}\Delta_p

converge to the uniform measure as x+x\to+\infty. This is the qualitative equidistribution conjecture corresponding to the paper's theorem; the source presents it as a potential conjecture and gives no resolution.
