Walz comes out against U.S. Constitution, says Electoral College “needs to go”

He didn't mean for normal Americans to hear this.

The Harris-Walz campaign is doing damage control after Tim Walz let slip that he wants to do away with the Electoral College, a constitutional protection designed by the founders to protect citizens against what James Madison called the "tyranny of the majority."

At a recent fundraiser with fellow Chinese Communist enthusiast Gavin Newsom, Walz said:

I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go. We need a national popular vote that is something. But that's not the world we live in.

The Left has been clamoring to scrap the constitutional protections of the Electoral College, especially since Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by about three million votes yet still lost to Trump.

The Founders warned about pure democracy based on popular vote, which would allow a simple majority to strip away the rights of the minority. They designed both houses of Congress with this in mind as well.

Hans von Spakovsky, a former member of the Federal Election Commission, explains it this way:

The Electoral College is a very carefully considered structure the Framers of the Constitution set up to balance the competing interests of large and small states. It prevents candidates from winning an election by focusing only on high-population urban centers, ignoring smaller states and the more rural areas of the country — the places that progressives and media elites consider flyover country.

The Harris-Walz campaign was quick to downplay Walz's comments.

"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," said a campaign spokesman.

Official campaign jargon aside, it sure looks like Walz wants to scrap our Constitutional Republic and have the country run exclusively by coastal urban cities.

Middle America might have a thing or two to say about that:
