[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the language for that claim:

"No voter, during the time of holding any election at which he is entitled to vote, shall be compelled to perform military service, except in time of war or public danger, nor to attend any court as suitor, juror, or witness; nor shall any such voter be subject to arrest under any civil process during his attendance at election or in going to or returning therefrom"

Two things:
"shall be compelled" means you cannot be forced
pretty sure there is plenty of time to do other things.

Not sure how this applies to military service. Military are entitled to vote absentee, so that is likely interpreted as able to vote. 
I find the language a little different from the post above.  [/quote]

The language doesn't exempt a person from jury and military service only during the time when that person is voting; it applies "during the time of holding any election." So no jury or military service during the entire election, which includes the early voting period.[/quote]
