Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Social Media
Claim: California has 449,000 registered voters who could not serve on juries because they are not U.S. citizens.
Rating: NO EVIDENCE
Explanation: The 449,000 figure refers to people disqualified from jury service because of citizenship status, but California jury pools are drawn from sources that include DMV and tax records in addition to voter registration records. There is no evidence showing those 449,000 people were registered voters.
