> “Governor Walz believes that every vote matters in the electoral college and he is honored to be traveling the country and battleground states working to earn support for the Harris-Walz ticket,” Teddy Tschann, a spokesman for Walz, told the New York Times.

It's a funny thing, because the "battleground states" category is not officially a part of the US Constitution, nor is the "flyover states" category. Both categories are an outgrowth of a dysfunctional system where the majority of states are relatively skewed politically. Winning elections via a national popular vote would mean that everyone's vote is equally worthwhile and these categories would become meaningless, with every vote in play.
