you( as a represenitive) would answer to those people for who you appointso you are lobbying for not having the ability to vote for your senators?
or are you a member of the state legislature of florida and want to get to appoint who YOU want without input from the constituents?
a direct line of responsibility
ok, you still cut the electorate out of this process. i thought everyone was railing against the evil corrupt politicians, or are the state legislators somehow different?

they dontyes, since they are supposed to be representing the state government
the poeple have their representation in the house
also it puts a direct line of responsibility to the state office holders
Ding! Correct! Select! We have a *WINNER*!! Good form, Dive! You dared to tread where Libs dared NOT.
partisan bub, why can americans vote for the president? why don't kill the xvii amendment, and then let congress appoint a president? would be even better, right? direct line of responsibility.

Does it matter in the current climate? I would submit a resounding *NO*. But then the original system of House and Senate, was designed to parse the interest of the State (Senate), and the House (People), and why there is such a thing as Reconciliation between the two Houses to ultimately Reflect the WILL of the people AND the STATE.
It was designed to be difficult on PURPOSE, to ensure the correct course of the Republic, and the WILL of the people as a whole.
What we have now reflects the will of the Federal Government, and the 17th amendment is a direct result, or bastardization, of the intent of choosing Representitives, v Senators.

they vote for electoral college members who then elect the POTUS
or have you forgotten that
WILL it happen? not likelyIt's been around for almost a hundred years, and it's here to stay.
NO ONE is going to agree to give up the right to directly elect senators. Ain't gonna happen.
Bet a million dollars on it.
Anyone want to take the bet?

But then there are those that think the EC should be abolished outright. How dangerous is that?
And if you think about it? It reflects on how dangerous a True Democracy really is.

Exactly. It's an affront to the original intent, and why I stated the 17th Amendment was a start, and a mistake, and why we are in the pickle we are now, and well our way to MOB RULE...and this didn't happen overnight...but piecemeal, and by DESIGN, by those that crafted it.
It has been a long hard march for the Statists, and they aren't gonna give up.
Eloquently stated. Kudos.
Glad to have been of some help in the "let me think of something clever" department.
