walz signed state legislation joining minnesota to npvic. it should be no surprise that this is his position.
it’s not part of the dnc platform at this time. probably because it’s in the state’s hands right now (getting more on-board with the idea via npvic); and a big huge shakeup in congress (amendment-passing majorities) and state governments (enough to ratify those amendments) would be needed to do anything at the federal level anyway.
The low population states have the most to lose if the Electoral College is overturned. Because they are disproportionately powerful under the EC, any candidate that threatens that power could lose support needed to win under… the EC.
If people had more proclivity for voting for the greater good over their personal, narrow interests, a lot more wonderful things would happen.
