So, I grabbed up a voters reg form, changed my address and pretended like I never saw the old one. I DID move, after all. Not everyone has great ex's that will forward mail.

From their website: <strong>RCW:2.36.170: It is a crime for any person summoned for jury service to intentionally fail to appear as directed. </strong> In my letter from them it specifically states that they issue warrants for anyone that fails to appear. I get it, they need jurors, and I honestly have no problem with any of this except that <em>I DON'T LIVE THERE</em>. So they just claim that they issue warrants for those people that don’t show?
