Jim,

A year ago, where I live they switched the jury duty selection from
voter registration lists to driver's license and state ID lists.  I am
not sure if this is state-wide in Florida, or if this is a county
level decision.

A client of mine in another state recently sat on a jury, and told me
selection was also now based on DMV records instead of voter
registrations.

I don't know how wide-spread this is, or why they switched.  I presume
it would be because of a disparity between the number of registered
voters and the number of licensed drivers.  Voter apathy strikes
again.

Doug
