I really don't know and have not really researched it that much.
The original way required the two houses of the state legislature to agree, but they often had standoffs. Seats went unfilled, everyone lost.
Imagine if we never changed how US senators are elected, and the Florida house and Florida Senate couldn't agree who our next Senator would be.
Suppose this happened regularly.
What would you propose to fix it?
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
