> State Senators were still voted on by the People...I kind of wonder whether it was better to let the State Legislature decide. It seems you don't understand the difference between how the people directly elected US Senators since 1913 versus a State Republic that was voted on. These are two very different things. I say very because one is more Democratic and the other is more Republic. A Republic is an indirect mechanism whereas Democratic is a direct mechanism.
