The sheriff has to track people down to get them to show up for jury duty.
Active apathy?
Basically the perfect term for it. A lot of people go out of thier way to avoid civic involvement.
I've been called in for jury duty a couple times, and more people got bench warrants than were in attendance for the roll call both times. So they'd literally prefer to be arrested than participate.
Voter turnout in the county I live in is typically around 60-70% on presidential election years, and 10-30% for other years or primaries.
