36. The jury system is broken, and here's why

Star Members get automatic +40% chance of serving on juries.
Star Membership can be gained with a single one-time donation of any value.
Do you think the folks sending Sanders $27 every chance they get can't set aside $5 or $10 to help control the DU jury system?

If they haven't already, more HRC supporters should just toss DU $10 like I did (a one-time payment giving me one year of membership) and see their chance of serving on a jury jump from 19% to 59%. Then maybe we can help prevent biased juries from hiding posts for BS reasons like "It was debunked, by which I mean I didn't like it, so I claimed it was debunked as an excuse to hide it."
