By Louis Casiano  | Fox News Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday called for the elimination of the Electoral College during a fundraiser in California, a move some Democrats have advocated for in the past after election defeats.  Walz was in California Gov. Gavin Newsom's private home in Sacramento when he remarked about the process by which U.S. presidents are elected.   "I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go," he said, according to a pool report at the event, Bloomberg reported.
