I’d be happy if they returned the election of Senators to the state legislatures. It’s not like governors aren’t appointing Senators left and right, anyway.

Let each state have 3 senators...One from each party (assuming Dem and Repub parties remain). Let the third be elected by the people of the state.

Let the House of Reps have larger districats and fewer members.
