 They also use automobile registration info from what I have 
been told. I hope they use more than voter registration since 
so few people actually register and vote.
 I was called a while back for duty, but I just sat around all 
day. A group got called down once to a courtroom and they 
selected a pool from all of us. The remainder of us got sent 
home since that was the only trial that day. The courthouse 
seems to be empty most of the time.
 Note to you all, be sure to take a book or some other reading 
material if you get called for jury duty. The magazines in the 
waiting area were normal low end material.

 You also bring up a point that you can't vote. Perhaps we need 
to allow non citizens to vote. It could improve the outcome. It 
would definitely improve the turnout since so few citizens make 
it to the polls.
