ETA: Roughneck 91, a member of this site, was in the AZ State Legislature. Perhaps he could provide some insight on this.

I live in NC.
The state legislature was controlled by Dims for more than 100 years, despite the repeated election of extremely conservative Republican Senators.
Trust me, if the Legislature appointed Senators, we would have been more than 100 years without seeing a single Republican appointed Senator.
