instead of a knee-jerk reaction you might consider the information at the link provided in the response just previous to yours.i believe we have been ill served by voting for our senators directly instead of allowing the state legislators choose.it was all part of the complex checks and balances system designed by some of the brightest pennies to have ever graced our planet.

Well! You live in a state with two really GREAT senators picked by the populace.

The influence of national political parties would be diminished, local influences would be strengthened, and Senators would be beholden to the will of the state legislatures instead of the will of Presidents and party hacks. I have given it thought over the years and prefer the original method of appointing Senators.
