its *PRESUMPTIVE* president elect trump

trump is not president elect until the electoral college votes on december 19th, until then it is presumed that trump has 270 votes in the college which makes him the presumptive president elect. college voters may vote their conscience, by and large they are not bound to vote their pledge. trump claimed millions of votes in the general election were fraudulent "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally [twitter] 12:30 PM - 27 Nov 2016" that being the case there should be a national audit of the vote, which could prove interesting considering pennsylvania for example has no paper trail for votes and is probably not reliably auditable, usa in general has issues with voter identity and some states are known to use corruptible voting machines, without an audit the veracity of this election and future ones will become ever more debatable russian involvement or not
