Again, I think you're exaggerating how easy it to rig a jury in the prosecution's favor. It's exponentially easier for the defense to get one biased juror into the jury, even with the fewer republicans. All they need is a single intelligent republican (capable of avoiding the questionnaires' booby traps) who doesn't use social media very much in a pool of 500 people.
If you miss one, then that is one in a pool of 96 who may not even be called.
Pretty great odds if you ask me.
As for "clever republicans," makes an assumption they would lie during the questioning. I would hope none of the jurors did that, but not thee most realistic view.
