"I think all of us know, the electoral college needs to go," Walz told donors at a gathering at the home of the California governor, Gavin Newsom. We need a national popular vote. 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."
"That's not the world we live in," Walz stated, highlighting the complexities of current electoral dynamics. His assertion not only reflects a growing discontent with the electoral college system but also illustrates the frustrations many voters feel about the voting process, particularly in battleground states that hold so much sway over election outcomes.
This call to abolish the electoral college stands against decades of tradition, yet it resonates with a majority of American voters who find it an outdated mechanism. The fact that past presidents have won without a popular vote adds weight to the argument for change.
"Can 0.03% of US votes really swing the presidential election?" Walz's comments serve to call into question the legitimacy of a system where a minority of votes can determine the president, emphasizing the absurdity of such a scenario.
