Walz: ‘The Electoral College needs to go’

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee, suggested Tuesday night that the Electoral College should be abolished during two West Coast campaign stops.

Walz mentioned the concept during fundraisers in Seattle and in Sacramento, Calif., while talking to donors in the deep blue areas.

“And we know, because of our system of the Electoral College, that puts a few states in real focus,” Walz said in Seattle. “I’m a national popular vote guy, but that’s not the world we live in.”

In Sacramento later in the day, he was talking about the pivotal battleground states that will decide this election and said the Electoral College should end.
