I will tell you that they were successful in registering many minority individuals to vote for the first time this fall. I don't think she advised them that they were now eligible for jury duty though  |
Felons can vote as long as they are not on any type of parole or probation any longer. Of course they can't be on jury duty unless the felony was expunged or done away with (Governor pardon etc...) otherwise. At least that is what I believe are the cases.
