Feingold attacks undemocratic method of selecting Senators

Sen. Russ Feingold is pushing for a Constitutional amendment that would call for special elections to replace Senators instead of gubernatorial appointments. The recent controversies in replacing Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Judd Gregg have added fuel to the fire.

“But the apparent behind-the-scenes deal-making that went on to determine who will fill Senator Gregg's vacancy is alarmingly undemocratic," Feingold said. "Once again, Americans will be represented in the Senate for nearly two years by someone they had no hand in electing."
