Well isn't this interesting? I found this article from year 2000 written by the 'The World Socialist News". In the very first sentence they state that
the title "President Elect" was not given to Bush until AFTER the contested votes were counted and Gore conceded. This illustrates how arrogant the DNC and American media has become.
Since Al Gore's December 13 concession speech, Texas Governor George W. Bush has been given the title president-elect. This is the term traditionally accorded to the individual who is elected by the voters.
