From 1788 until 1912, each state legislature was responsible for electing the state's U.S. senators. It wasn't until the ratification of the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution on 8 Apr 1913 that direct election by a state's voting public was required to elect a U.S. senator.Although a majority of the voters of Illinois favored Abraham Lincoln in the state's 1858 U.S. senate election, the Illinois legislature voted 54-46 in favor of Stephen A.
