OK this is a good discussion but the problem is that the same corrupt slobs will be holding office in the corrupt states whether the state legislature has the vote or not. How about baning the vote of anyone who takes government funds or requiring that voters be taxpayers?

This way those addicted to government dollars would not be able to sell their votes to the corrupt (liberal) pols

The fact is that they WON'T be the same slobs. Beyond being beholden to the state legislature, MANY states would flip flop sides.

We would lose 8 seats in LA, MS, AL, CO, and ME but pick up 8 seats in ND, SD, MI, IN, WI.

There will be other flip-flops as well, but those are some of the key ones.

RINOs would tend to die out in the Senate as well because most of them come from states with democratic legislatures.

Breakdown by State Legislatures

It kind of redefines where battleground states are huh? Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky, Minnesota, Iowa, New York, and Delaware. There are also some close states, such as Colorado (The Dems have a +1 majority).
