Personally don't want to go back to appointing Senators through our State Legislature -- Oklahoma has a democRAT Legislature -- both houses. The State of OK votes Republican for National elections but the Legislature has gerrmandered districts to keep a lot of State Legislature seats safe.

That would mean we would lose two good Republican Senators to have two DemocRATs. That is the problem throughout the south where a lot of State Legislatures are still democRAT.

What you'd have, is senators who actually vote for the interests of their state instead of what happens to be popular. Worrying about the makeup of your current state legislature is shortsighted, to say the least.
