And California has a ballot proposition moving for an open primary, effectively eliminating the Republican party and letting Democrats choose the Republican candidates.

Which would you prefer, a rigged election or a rigged legislature? Which would you be more compelled to change, your local legislature or your Senator?

Which would it be easier to change, the entire legislature or a single senator? The 49% of Republicans, for example, in a majority Democratic district basically have their voice taken away. Their legislators will put a Democrat in regardless of their wishes. But if Senators are elected then they have a better chance of their vote counting when combined with Republicans from across the state.
