115. Can we bring the new rules into play tomorrow anyway?

I don't see why the rollout the of new and hopefully improved jury system and the transition to general election season need to be simultaneous. Sure, it would've been more convenient that way, but putting the new rules in place ought to happen tomorrow regardless.
