This might seem like nitpicking to some, but why does the U.S. news media refer to Barack Obama as "President-elect?"
According to the Constitution, the presidential election happens December 15th, when state electors cast their votes for president.
Shouldn't he be referred to as "presumptive president-elect?"
Should some scandal erupt between now and December 15th, such as Obama being involved somehow in a crime, the electors could choose John McCain - or some other candidate for president.
