the 17th amendment put senators to a popular vote rather than being chosen by state representatives.
in general, state representatives skew conservative because they have to come from all parts of the state, whereas the popular votes for a senator only come from the population centers of the state. in other words, all the "flyover counties" of states have no real say in who their senator is right now. the 17th amendment, in some sense, removed an electoral college for choosing senators.
if you repeal the 17th amendment, the end result is that all the rural county voters will have a larger say in who their senator is.
right now, in a state like montana, the relatively liberal cities like missoula and bozeman get to unilaterally pick who the senator is because they have a lot more retarded urbanites who vote for whomever the TV tells them to. but montana's state legislature will be conservative for a long time into the future.

I always wondered why Montana went full retard with governors
Well, that and all the fraud, of course. Who knows how many governorships they've taken by cheating?
We should also go to an electoral college for the Governors of our states.
