… took aim at the 17th amendment during their state convention, calling for repeal of the measure.

A GOP committee narrowly passed a measure Friday to include language in the state party’s platform that seeks to nullify the amendment created a century ago to shift election of U.S. senators from state legislatures to voters.

Supporters of the measure say making senators accountable to legislators instead of voters will restore the constitution’s checks and balances.

I think we can conclude that the “militia” initiative is part of the broader wingnut movement.
