How are Senate's selected?

To quote the 17th amendment: "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures. When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct. This amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution. " In other words, senators are elected by the people of the state they are running for office in. Each state has two senators. If an unplanned vacancy should open (due to death or inability to serve a full term) the legislative and executive powers within the state can make a temporary appointment to fill the seat until elections can be held.
