Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz said on Tuesday that the “Electoral College needs to go,” forcing the Kamala Harris campaign to release a statement saying it does not support abolishing the Constitutional mechanism for presidential elections.

At two campaign fundraisers on the West Coast, Walz called for abolishing the Electoral College, arguing that it forces candidates to focus too much attention on a handful of battleground states, The New York Times reported.


“I think all of us know, the Electoral College needs to go. We need a national popular vote,” Walz told donors at California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s home in Sacramento. “So we need to win Beaver County, Pennsylvania. We need to be able to go into York, Pennsylvania, and win. We need to be in western Wisconsin and win. We need to be in Reno, Nevada, and win.”

At an event earlier on Tuesday, Walz told supporters that he is “a national popular vote guy, but that’s not the world we live in.”

Following the Minnesota governor’s call for the Electoral College to be abolished, the Harris campaign said in a statement, “Governor Walz believes that every vote matters in the Electoral College and he is honored to be traveling the country and battleground states working to earn support for the Harris-Walz ticket.”

Comment:
The Democrats claim that they are saving our "democracy".
But at the same time, they are attacking the foundations of our country.
The Electoral College strengthens our pluralistic election system.

I think they ought to debate the issue.
A debate between the presidential candidate and the vice presidential candidate.
Maybe Colbert would host it

 

[DigitalDrifter]

They want a system in place, where they will never lose the presidency.

 

[Blaster]

Walz wants a dictatorship.

Given selecting this boob was her first decision as a candidate, how can anyone support her?

Walz wants a dictatorship.

Worse, Walz want's his own State's influence in Presidential elections to be eliminated.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Here we go…

Democrats want to disenfranchise rural voters. They want only oblivious cities running the country.

That's exactly why the EC was put in place

 

[Curried Goats]

Is that an admission that the GOP could never win a vote from the majority of American citizens?

 

[Curried Goats]

Walz wants a dictatorship.

That's ironic. The electoral college was imposed by a dictatorship looking to take the free will of slaves and suplant them to serve the desires of slave masters. Have none of you morons ever read a history book? Do they not have books where your people are from?

The electoral college was designed to disenfranchised black voters and it continues to do so in the GOP south where the votes of 90% of their black constituents end up going to Republicans they vote against.

The EC was in place before blacks could vote, you fucking idiot.

It was instituted in 1787. Good Lord

how about we go with 1 vote per state? Maybe 2.

majority vote gets the state., majority of states gets the presidency.

I am an advocate for the Statewide vote winner getting 2 EC votes representing the Senators, and the rest divided up by congressional district.
