No. The Constitution established in 1787 that the State Legislatures would appoint the Senators. It was not until the 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, that senators would be elected directly by the people.

how are senators and representatives elected
No, there are not as many electors in each state as there are senators. The number of electors in each state is equal to the total number of representatives and senators that the state has in Congress. Each state has two senators, but the number of representatives varies based on the state's population.
The state legislature has 151 state represntatives and 35 state senators. (In the US Congress, the state has 2 Senators and 2 Representatives.)
The senators and representatives from the U.S. are from the state that they represent, it's the law!
