“Yup reducing the number of electors that choose State Senators to a few assembly members”

No, I did not say “assembly members”.

In fact in most states one cannot be a member of the state legislature/assembly and an appointed or elected official in another part of government in the state.

I said senators elected by the elected body of the county(ies) they represent - so that they represent the county(ies) as an entity. Try to get state imposed mandates on counties and localities, without the funds for them through that body!

The idea would be a reflection of “federalism” at the state level.

So the Cook County board should select dozens of State Senators? How brilliant. That would cut the number of Republicans from Cook districts from less than none to none. Wonderful! Not.
