Not unless national redistricting reform is instituted first. Convoluted districts pervert the electoral process and if the 17th. Amendment were repealed, legislators safe in malapportioned districts would choose Senators without regard for the will of the states’ voters. At the time the amendment was repealed, the state legislatures were cesspools of corruption. Instead of voters choosing their politicians, politicians choose their voters and we can’t let that influence the U.S. Senate. If an end to partisan redistricting in imposed, than repealing the 17th. Amendment can be discussed. Not until then, though.
“Non-partisan” redistricting (also known as democrat redistricting) would be a disaster. We have our biggest edge in leg seats now since the 20’s if not ever, pissing away control over redistricting would be literally the stupidest thing we could do. In Cali that garbage has proved even worse than if the democrat legislature had drawn the lines, Arizona rats could hardly have hoped for a better map than given by “independent” redistricting. In Florida stupid “fairness” guidelines effed us over. No no no, 100,000 times no. Complaining about “malapportioned districts” is the siren song of disgruntled leftists, don’t fall for it.
Allowing a small number of politicians to choose Senators was already a disaster and would be a bigger one today, no matter what the state leg districts are like. It’s a moronic idea that would have the exact opposite of it’s intended effect and fools can discuss it as much as they like, it will not ever happen, EVER, PERIOD. If Republicans campaigned in favor of such a thing it would be a gigantic wedge issue, huge electoral loser.
Conservatives should be discussing how to keep Obama unpopular and win the next Presidential election, not pretending wild schemes and constitutional changes that have zero chance of passing are the answer.
Want a useful idea? Tell Michigan to divide it’s electoral votes by congressional district, that would aid victory (and give libtard newspapers an aneurysm).
The federal government should definitely not be involved in drawing districts
