You have to register to be able to vote. If you register, you might have to work in court, losing out on pay. You don’t get any compensation for that. The lost pay can ruin you financially.
Some states dont pay you on the first, day even if they do its like less 5-15/day if your selected. and federal court might pay you more , and this is seperate from your cities JD, so some people have gotten both JD summons in one year. and Commuting by car is partially reimbursed, lol. i do hear alot of people skip JD, but most are dismissed anyways.
Most middle class jobs tend to give paid leave for jury duty. If you can’t get that or can’t afford the lost income, you can usually get out of having to appear because of that.
Hold the fuck up. Am I getting this right?

In my county we get paid 35 dollars per day for jury duty.

So the poor might not be able to participate in the judicial process?
