Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has been busted for joining a group that essentially wants to subvert the Electoral College. 

This is according to a new report from the New York Post. 

The news comes as Walz and his record continue to be scrutinized. This, of course, is due to the fact that he has been chosen by Vice President Kamala Harris to be her running mate in the 2024 presidential election.

Suffice it to say that researchers have already dug up a lot of dirt on Walz, and there seems to be no end in sight.

The "National Popular Vote Interstate Compact"

This is the name of the compact that, according to the Post, Walz has signed on to. All of the information about the compact can be found here.

The website reads, "The National Popular Vote law will guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It will apply the one-person-one-vote principle to presidential elections, and make every vote equal."

As for why this is compact needed, it appears to be because supporters do not like the fact that presidents have been chosen by the Electoral College despite the fact that they have lost the popular vote.

The website states:

The shortcomings of the current system stem from “winner-take-all” laws that award all of a state’s
electoral votes to the candidate receiving the most popular votes in each separate state. Because of these state winner-take-all laws, five of our 46 Presidents have come into office without
winning the most popular votes nationwide. In 2004, if 59,393 voters in Ohio had changed their minds, President Bush would have lost, despite leading nationally by over 3 million votes.

The election of former President Donald Trump would be another example.

The Post explains how this compact - that Walz supports - could have a big impact on our elections.

For example, the Post writes, "Presidential candidates from both parties frequently visit battleground Michigan. But its swing-state status could evaporate if Michigan lends its 15 votes to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz did in his state last year."

The Post goes on to write, "In all 50 states, the winning vote-getter in that state wins at least a majority of its electoral votes. A national popular vote would open the door to the first loser-takes-all system in American history."

So, what would have to happen for the compact to be put into effect?

The Post explains, "The compact would take effect when 270 states’ worth of votes sign on."
