Alan Keyes to Illinois voters: Elect me and you'll never have to again.

The Marylander turned temporary Illinoisan said he'd like the Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution repealed so that US Senators are once again appointed by state legislatures.

Rolling back the right for voters to choose their own Senators is outdated and undemocratic. The push to elect Senators occurred during the progressive era in order to remove the widespread corruption that infested state legislatures when they chose who to send to the US Senate.
