[Repeal The 17th]

What idiots designed this kind of system?

A candidate’s name can appear on the ballot twice;
and if a voter selects the name both times;
it becomes a spoiled ballot?

Idiots.
All of them.

Yes, the system favoring the liberal/establishment is much better. </sarc>

For me, I'll take the system where I can cast my vote for a candidate based on my preference by party. It is nice to have the Republicans realize that there's a large block of Conservatives, so they don't think they can do without the Conservative Party endorsement (in the past 20 years, no Republican has been elected without having the Conservative Party line, too.)

(To clarify, I’m not directing that last post to you...but to the idiots.)
