The Unelected Senate

Karen Tumulty notes that four states currently have appointed Senators -- New York, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois -- which represent about 13% of the U.S. population.

With three more Senate appointments possibly coming soon from relatively big states -- Florida, Texas, Massachusetts -- that will mean more than a quarter of the U.S. population could be represented by people who were not elected.
