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.
Look, we just how how much these folks fetishize citizenship status. They think the illegals are flooding in and eating their cats. Do you honestly think one would pose as a non-citizen just to get out of jury duty, particularly when they have a valid excuse anyway?
If you are going out of your way to find ill intent, look to the clerk at the other end of that phone line. Because it could have been a simple “tick the wrong box” mistake. Or, it could have been an overachiever who assumes that anyone who wants out of jury duty is probably one of those cat eaters. How many other people did s/he tick the “not a citizen” box for?
And regardless, when the lady presented the proper proof she still got stonewalled until the journalist got involved. I bet any other people who got this treatment didn’t have the white connections to get it resolved properly.
