Tim Walz, Raising Cash with Gavin Newsom, Pushes for End to Electoral College

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), the Democratic Party candidate for Vice President, called for the abolition of the Electoral College at a Tuesday fundraiser with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) at his Sacramento home.

Walz, endorsing the Democrats’ campaign for a “National Popular Vote,” would give inordinate power to the large “blue” states, meaning presidential candidates would spend all their time in Democratic cities like New York City and Los Angeles.

In California, that would give the Democrats the added advantage of “ballot harvesting,” under which any individual may submit unlimited numbers of other peoples’ ballots, swamping the overall national vote.
