For those in favor of IDs for purposes of ensuring things like "dead people/non-existent people don't vote" ... how does your state choose jurors?

A large number of states pull potential jurors from voter registration lists - has there been an epidemic of fictitious people being called for jury duty?

Our state uses driver's licenses. They used to use voter registration lists, but changed it because, apparently, there were people not registering to vote simply to avoid jury duty.

I didn't mean to imply that only voter registries were used - most states use a combination of many lists.

I don't think that changes the validity of the question, though.
