--one of the primary reasons for the adoption of the 17th amendment was railroad domination of several state legislatures-----

I can imagine the California, Illinois, or New York state legislatures doing just a wonderful job of filling Senate seats. Let's run down the list: Boxer, Obama, Schumer. How much worse could the State Legislatures possibly do?

States like Illinois and New York would benefit most. Currently their Senators are voted in by a single large city. The 17th eliminated any rural voice in the Senate for those States that are dominated by a single large city.
