Tim Walz wants the coastal states to decide the presidential election, depriving the smaller states of any say. According to CNN, he told supporters at a fundraiser this week that the Electoral College “needs to go.” Without the Electoral College, the Constitution collapses.
When the Founding Fathers said the Constitution could change, they didn’t say it was living, subject to the whims of a party. That is why they made it difficult to change.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said the Electoral College “needs to go” while adding “that’s not the world we live in” during a campaign fundraiser in California on Tuesday, according to a pool report.
“I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go. We need, we need national popular vote, but that’s not the world we live in. So we need to win Beaver County, Pennsylvania; we need to be able to go into York, Pennsylvania, win; we need to be in western Wisconsin and win; we need to be in Reno, Nevada, and win,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee told supporters gathered at Gov. Gavin Newsom’s private residence in Sacramento, according to the pool report.
The National Popular Vote basically abolishes the Electoral College. It was allegedly conceived by three businessmen, but it is actually Jonathan Soros’s brainchild.
Harris’s campaign said it’s not the party’s official position. Obviously, it’s an unofficial one, or they would have said that. Harris has said she is open to eliminating the College.
“There’s no question that the popular vote has been diminished in terms of making the final decision about who’s the president of the United States, and we need to deal with that, so I’m open to the discussion,” she said in 2019.
She is very open to anything far-far-left.
Walz has been saying this all along:
In a recently unearthed video, the Democratic Rep. Stole Valor Tim Walz said the electoral college is “very undemocratic”

THE PATH TO TYRANNY
See all the red on this map that gave the win to Donald Trump in 2016? It would be gone under a Democracy. Without the Electoral College, we are no longer a Republic. We become a Democracy.
All the votes of the smaller states would become meaningless. It would not mean every voter has a voice.
Without the Electoral College, we become a mobocracy — a democracy — which James Madison called the “most vile form of government.”
“… democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths,” he wrote.
Democracy leads to mobocracies, the tyranny of the majority, and eventually dictatorship.

I got 1-Million Dollars for the Elector who swings the Vote For me. -Corporate America. Now, who do you think they are going to represent, America? COME ON PEOPLE … APPLY YOURSELVES!
I can’t stand to look at that huge-mouthed clown. Someone should stick a loaf of bread in that kisser. What a dangerous moron he is.
If IQ tests were required in order to vote there would never be another Democrat elected anywhere except in their ghetto shitole cities.
We need to eliminate the popular vote tallies. No counting them beyond what is necessary to establish the winner of the electoral vote. No publishing results for people to go nuts over. We don’t need any of Timmy’s stupid ideas.
Explain how anyone is deprived when 1 Citizen has 1 Vote. It does not matter if Alaska has 1 person and New York has 1-Million! 1 Citizen = 1 Vote. Eliminating the Electoral College would not disenfranchize anyone by popular vote. However, what causes a problem is the Electoral College , that can be paid, (lobbied) to put their FAT thumbs on the Scale. They decide Elections. Come on People …Really!
I cannot believe this guy said that though; because the electoral college would be favoring Kamala. Oh, and anything from Government Named: College, is a Slam on the Uneducated Masses. Just Sayin.
If I understand your comment correctly, you seem to think the popular vote doesn’t disenfranchise any voter. In fact, it disenfranchises many ENTIRE STATES of course. This topic has been discussed many times. There is NO WAY the smaller states will remain in the union because NONE of their voters would ever decide their national leadership again. We could just count the votes from CA, NY and stop counting. Due to population density in those states, they would decide the election (more voters live in Blue areas). The red areas would secede as their votes decide nothing.
If I misunderstood you, I apologize. But at least there are many others advocating for the national popular vote. It’s a fool’s errand. First, the smaller states won’t go along with the required constitutional amendment. And secondly, if it happened, the USA would split into separate nations. The small states would back out, and no one could stop them from doing it. They would too deeply motivated to stay relevant.
The electoral college (not popular vote) is the only reason the smaller states ever agreed to join the union. They intentionally formed a representative constitutional republic. The USA is NOT a democracy (mob rule). Democracies lead to continual unrest as one side gangs up on the other, politically speaking. A representative republic with strong constitutional protections is far more stable for all states, large and small. It distributes the role of governance across all the states, rather than favoring only the highly populated ones. Every state, big or small, has a relevant role to play. That’s why they ratified the constitution and banded together as a union.
Mob Rule? Majority Rules. OR, do you want ruled by the Metaphoric: Bill Gates; because HE owns the Electoral College! And what you`re describing is an allowance, for the elites, to lobby and abuse the Electoral College to Swing the Vote in thier Favor.
All States have their Represenatives. This is an entirely different matter, the States are Represented by their State Representation: All States. The President is supposed to be for the People! A popular vote, not contaminated by State, would be the way for a Presidential Election. The President was supposed to be a Protection for the People from State Level Corruption and therefore the State Cannot Manipulate the Vote!
Every Person “Big or Small” has a Vote and Only 1 Vote. However, if you corrupt that vote and give power to the State, then you invite state level corruption and lobbies to RULE the People.
You just want to give all the power to select a president to the democrat voters of CERTAIN states, the heavy population centers, while excluding the other states. Nice try. The smaller states say “no way you’re getting that constitutional amendment passed.”
If the Democrats have the Majority, Yes. However, in this case, I really think TRUMP has the Majority. And, it is not about Democrat or Republican / Independents can Swing that Bi-polar Nonsense! I believe Trump had the popular Vote in his Last Election and Lost. This should never happen.
Size does not matter. 1-vote 1-person. Real Simple..
This is pretty much what my late pop told me decades ago, when I asked him about the matter of the EC.
Nobody should care about states; because this is a presidential election: 1 person 1 vote , we do not need state level corruption of the popular vote. This kind of popular vote is understood in the School Yard! Why is it so Hard to Understand? The State should have no Business in the Vote for President. And, if a Large population lives in a Certain Geography then that would have the result, by the people, for the people. Majority Rules.
State level representation is a State level Vote. This is a Vote for the President “who Represents all the States.” There is No Need to Pollute the Popular Vote with State Corruption.
The reason people want to hold onto corruption is because LOBBIES pay the Electors to Swing the Vote. Come on People, They`ve brainwashed you.
