Arizona proposes a constitutional amendment to repeal the direct election of U.S. senators.

Arizona advocates for a constitutional amendment to repeal the direct election of U.S. senators, reverting to the original system where state legislatures select senators. This proposal stems from concerns over the perceived lack of responsiveness by U.S. senators to state issues. The amendment, if passed by Congress and ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures, would reinstate the system in place before the 17th Amendment.
