Reply to comment by fradigit in Parkland prosecutors ask for an investigation after a juror says she was threatened by ‘a fellow juror’ during deliberations - CNN by SilentR0b

IME many people do not vote because they might be called.

ETA: Damn, y'all, why you downvoting me? I'm just telling you all what I have heard.

It isn't certified mail, so they can easily say they just never received the jury summons... Sometimes I think people are looking for excuses to not vote.

For clarification, do you mean some people don’t vote/register because they might be jury summoned? I just know 3 states in the US that don’t use voter registry, but instead use DMV records (that’s how I got summoned, despite moving out of state months earlier).

I didn't claim that, the person above me did. My state uses DMV records but I did a quick Google search and it seems at least some places use voter registration for jury selection.
