President ‘select’
Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote now is 2 million votes. Thanks to the Electoral College, a voter in Wyoming or Alaska gets three electoral votes for every electoral vote a voter gets in California, New York and, yes, Florida.
So in the interest of accuracy, refer to Donald Trump as the “president-select” instead of the “president-elect.” He definitely wasn’t elected by the majority of the people.
