Tim Walz, the now-forgotten nominee for vice president, infamously said on the campaign trail, “I think all of us know, the Electoral College needs to go. We need a national popular vote.” In 2023, Walz signed legislation adding Minnesota to the National Popular Vote interstate compact (NPV). While it hasn’t taken effect, 17 blue states have joined the anti-Electoral College plan. But why wait? Walz and others who want a national popular vote should act now to give their state’s electoral votes to Donald Trump. If NPV states followed through, Trump would receive 520 electoral votes. Harris would get 18. The Electoral College was designed by the American Founders to keep states in charge. It makes presidential elections a two-step, state-based democratic process. This creates important checks and balances. It limits how much power any one state or region can have, which spreads power out across our vast country. It also contains any election problems within individual states, reducing lawsuits and eliminating the possibility of a nationwide recount. The NPV compact is an attempt to undo all this without amending the Constitution. How is this possible? It takes advantage of the power that state legislatures have to decide how presidential electors are selected. Right now, state laws say that voters within each state elect their state’s presidential electors — that’s what last Tuesday was about. The NPV compact would change state laws so that presidential electors are chosen based on nationwide vote totals. Maryland was the first state to join NPV, in 2007, when it was sponsored by then-Delegate Jamie Raskin. Other blue states have followed, including California in 2011, New York in 2014, and Maine just this year. Together, NPV states have 209 electoral votes. Yet the compact only takes effect if joined by enough states that they control a majority — 270 electoral votes. The reason for this “trigger” is not clear. If the compact is legal, then individual states must have the power to give away electors unilaterally. And why not, if they really believe in a national popular vote? If Walz really wants a national popular vote, he should ask the Minnesota Legislature to put NPV into effect now and add 10 electoral votes to Trump’s total. Gov. Jared Polis in Colorado, who signed his state onto NPV in 2019, could do the same thing. Do these politicians really believe in a national popular vote, or were they just seeking partisan advantage? Every NPV state went for the Harris-Walz ticket. That means that if they all followed through, they would shift all 209 of their electoral votes to the Republicans. Trump-Vance would win with 520 electoral votes. Harris-Walz would get 18. Of course, NPV states probably can’t change their rules after the election. Voters in those states favored Harris, and so they will elect Democrat-nominated presidential electors. Of course, if any of those Democrat presidential electors believe the popular vote is the right way to choose the president, they could simply choose to cast their votes for Trump and Vance (depending on whether their state has a law to bind presidential electors). MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ That none of this will happen simply exposes the truth: the NPV compact is a partisan ploy. When the sour grapes of Al Gore’s 2000 election loss were pressed, NPV was the sour wine that flowed out. The movement was created and is still run and funded by John Koza, one of Gore’s presidential electors in California. It gained support after 2016, when Trump smashed the blue wall and won the presidency according to the Constitution’s rules but without the popular vote. The Electoral College rewards whichever party reaches out to build a more national coalition. Trump and Vance did that this year, attracting more support from young and minority voters than Republicans have seen in a generation. Their successful strategy to win the Electoral College has also delivered a popular vote majority. If blue state legislators aren’t willing to throw their support to Trump, the popular vote winner, there is another course of action they can take: Repeal the National Popular Vote interstate compact, stop trying to manipulate the Electoral College, and focus instead on building coalitions capable of winning future elections. * * * Trent England is founder and executive director of Save Our States and a producer of the film Safeguard: An Electoral College Story.

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he is appointing Tom Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to take “charge of our Nation’s Borders.” Homan made a name for himself during the first Trump administration after being appointed acting director of ICE and immediately began ramping up deportations. In the first three months of Trump’s first term and under Homan’s leadership, ICE arrested more than 41,000 illegal immigrants, which was a 38% increase over the same period from the year before. Homan impressed Trump as acting director, and the president tapped him to lead ICE permanently, but in April 2018, Homan announced that he was retiring over “family and personal considerations.” Shortly after he stepped down, Homan testified before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship. He got into a heated exchange with Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) while urging Democrats in Congress to work with the Trump administration. “Look, you want to know why there’s fifty thousand people in detention? You want to know why we’re having one million illegal entries in the United States? You want to know why we have these issues? Because you have failed to secure the border,” Homan said. “You have failed to support this president to close the three loopholes we’ve asked for two years to close. You want to know why this issue exists? You need to look in the mirror. You have failed the American people by not securing the border and closing loopholes.” After Jayapal scolded Homan for speaking past his time and not respecting “the chair’s authority,” he replied, “You work for me. I’m a taxpayer.” In case you aren’t familiar with Donald Trump’s new Border Czar Tom Homan ? pic.twitter.com/6IQSr20xgQ — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) November 11, 2024 Homan joined the Heritage Foundation in 2022, contributing to Project 2025, a conservative “mandate for leadership” for a new Trump administration from which Trump distanced himself during the 2024 campaign. In 2022, Homan testified in a Congressional hearing over the Trump administration’s family separation policy. During that hearing, Homan responded to questioning from leftist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), saying separation policies for illegal immigrants are “the same as it is when you have a U.S. citizen parent who gets arrested when there with a child.” “If I get arrested for a DUI and have a young child in the car, I’m going to be separated. When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence, I separated that father from the family,” Homan added. “Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “When you enter the country illegally, it’s a violation of United States Code 1325,” Homan shot back. “If you want to seek asylum, go through the port of entry, do it the legal way. The attorney general of the United States has made that clear.” Meet our new border czar, Tom Homan: pic.twitter.com/A7k3Opzv5S — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) November 11, 2024 Homan took the stage and spoke at the Republican National Convention in July, blasting the Biden administration’s border policies. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Here’s what you need to know — this isn’t mismanagement, this isn’t incompetence; this is by design. It is a choice,” Homan said. “It’s national suicide.” “As a guy who spent 34 years deporting illegal aliens, I got a message to the millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden released into our country in violation of federal law: you’d better start packing now — you’re damn right — because you’re going home,” Homan added. “I’ve got another message to the criminal cartels in Mexico: you’ve smuggled enough fentanyl across this country to kill a hundred-forty-eight thousand young Americans. You have killed more Americans than every terrorist organization in the world combined. And … when President Trump gets back in office, he’s going to designate you a terrorist organization. He’s going to wipe you off the face of the earth. You’re done!” "As a guy who spent 34 years deporting illegal aliens, I got a message, to the millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden released into our country… you’d better start packing now – you're damn right – because you’re going home." – Trump border czar pick Tom Homan RNC 7-17-2024 pic.twitter.com/BM4ahjXjZ7 — Howard Mortman (@HowardMortman) November 11, 2024 Just three months later, Homan was interviewed on “60 Minutes” and again asked about family separation policies. “Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?” asked CBS News’ Cecilia Vega. “Of course there is. Families can be deported together,” Homan replied. Cecilia Vega asks: “Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?” “Of course there is.
