Urging a Special Election for Senate in Illinois

Can the Ill. GOP FINALLY Find a Winning Issue?

As for me, I stand against voting for a Senator in the first place. I think the 17th Amendment was wrong to recreate the Constitution to have the people vote for Senators. Originally, the state legislature was to appoint a Senator from their state. There was no election as the position of Senator was supposed to be one that represented the state governments, not “the people.” The people were to be represented by the House of Reps and the President on the Federal level.
