How about one senator?
More brainless equivocation.
To the extent you can buy off a Senator, once in office, you can do that whether the People or the legislature put him in office. How he got there is irrelevant.
So your post was pointless.
Must everything be explained to you?
I'll explain it to you. In a purple-type state, you might have a hundred in a legislature, where most were reliably Democrat or reliably Republican, with only a few in the center composing the swing vote.
'Buying off' a handful of state legislators is a far easier task than buying off thousands of swing voters in a direct election.
