Tim Walz calls for Electoral College to be abolished

[FOX] Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday called for the elimination of the Electoral College during a fundraiser in California, a move some Democrats have advocated for in the past after election defeats.

Walz was in California Gov. Gavin Newsom's private home in Sacramento when he remarked about the process by which U.S. presidents are elected.

"I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go," he said, according to a pool report at the event, Bloomberg reported. "We need a national popular vote, but that's not the world we live in."

Even if it could be done, it could not be done in time to change the 2024 presidential race.

#1 Make no mistake, a congressionally appointed president is the Democrat's desired outcome.

#5 You think 25 states are going to allow themselves to be ruled by a dozen major metropolitan areas? If you undo the Constitution, you dissolve the union to its prior condition of independent sovereign states.

#9 You've seen how it works - MN votes DFL because of Minneapolis/Hennepin Co. 90% of other counties vote no to DFL. DFL ruins the state in one legislative session. Electoral College is the only thing stopping that from happening at the national level.

#10 There are only about 62 or 63 counties that could decide the outcome of a national election in quantity of votes cast. The other 4,000+ don't have as many voters in aggregate.

That's why the Electoral College is so important.

#12 So, if you abolish the electoral college, you have to switch to proportional representation.

#16 If I were to Freud him, I'd say his obsession with tampons in men's privies is related to his obsession with being rough with Chinese boys.

#17 Democrats would need 38 states to ratify abolishing the Electoral College. Never going to happen.
