Well I'm not sure if you're aware of this, it was quite common for militia units to "elect" their officers.
Really the only thing different from these home grown modern-day "militias" and the original state militias, is the lack of sanctioning from the governor of that state. Other than that, they are far more like the original state militias than the modern National Guard.
(In the interest of full disclosure, I served in the Alabama Army National Guard from the mid to late 90's after I came off active duty with the Regular Army.)
