WG Discussion Points: What Tim Walz Said

About The Electoral College

WG Discussion Points | David Winston

October 11, 2024

Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz made headlines this week as he called for
eliminating the Electoral College. From the New York Times: Twice during
campaign fund-raisers on the West Coast, Mr. Walz said he would prefer that
presidential candidates did not have to focus on a few political
battlegrounds and could instead focus on winning votes from across the
country. 'I think all of us know, the Electoral College needs to go... we
need a national popular vote...' He clearly knows this change would favor
Democrats, but what he may not realize is that it would heavily weight the
result in favor of two states: California and New York.

In our September 6 Discussion Points, we wrote about how California makes
up a large portion of Democrats' popular vote margins. In 2020, about 72%
of Biden's popular vote margin came from California. But this is not just a
one-time occurrence. From 2008 forward, a combined 64% of Democrats'
popular vote margin came from California. Adding in New York, a staggering
96% of Democrats' popular vote margin came from those two blue states
alone. The other 48 states only made up a paltry 4% of their party's
popular vote margin, making the rest of the country almost irrelevant to
the Democratic Party's national vote totals.

Last Friday, Chairman David Avella and Fox News Contributor Richard Fowler
joined John Roberts and Gillian Turner on Fox News Channel's America
Reports to discuss the launch of early voting in Arizona. Both the Harris
and Trump campaigns have ramped up their efforts in the state, with a heavy
presence aimed at energizing voters as Arizona continues to be a key
battleground state this cycle.
