Agree. This sounds like fake news, a psy-ops by those that want an endless war on terror so that they can get more security contracts for useless X Ray machines and more TSA perverts at the airports.
Are we supposed to believe these muzzies?
I don’t think you get the 17th back as it was. How about the following modifications that gives the state as an entity a voice?
1. Current election system for Senators but state legislature may recall,
2. State legislature elects but citizens may recall,
3. Variant on the Louisiana system, primary picks top 3 vote getters, legislature picks senator.
4. Another variant on the Louisiana system, state legislature picks 5 candidates 2 of which must be the minority party, top vote getter gets office or do a run-off if one falls under 50%.
