Mary Howard-Elley’s voter registration was canceled after her citizenship was questioned. Her saga shows how tough it can be for eligible voters to get reinstated.
The justice system is essentially on rails at this point. Don’t know the actual percentage but very few cases actually reach the trail phase. Even the most ignorant and racist know to some extent that the whole system is rigged in someway. So they choose to be more passive when it comes to anything outside of voting Republican. So whatever morality still floats around in their subconscious turns them into little more than conservative NPCs. “Take party in a jury. Someone else can do that. Why should I care as long as I’m not on trial. The whole thing is rigged anyway. I won’t take part!”

I have never been placed on a jury and the last time I got a summons was back in college.
