The jury selection system is a bit odd.

I had a 60% chance to serve on a jury and was not pick for months. I got a post hidden dropping down to 40% and now I have been picked 8 times in September. I have been called more with a 40% chance of serving then a 60% chance.

hide or leave it alone.

you can see the generic complaint and the post in question but not the exact reason until after you choose hide or leave alone. sometimes the specific complaint undermines the case. kinda weird, that progression.

and it is frequently not possible to add an explanation...that function does not work
