 And it didn't work out that way. Everything has become more democratic in a way. But ironically, the more the vote and the franchise has been expanded, I don't want to undo that. But what's interesting is the more you extend the franchise of voting to everyone, say the direct election of senators. It's not just the state legislature that picks them. It is actually much easier to manipulate the everyday voter than it is these institutions that have some own independence and identity.
