I don’t get this. So, there would be no primary?
The legislature would choose the candidates, but how many?
And how does this not aid someone like Byrd who simply can send federal dollars home to balance the state books?
To continue, this just seems like a way to make bribery easier. Instead of buying off the voters, I can simply buy off 20 or so legislators by promising them federal dollars for their district.
Suddenly, Bobby Nobody from Beckley County, WV can have a bridge on I-77 named after him.
