Hi! I'm new here, not a US citizen but concerned about what's happening in one of my favorite countries in the world!

I have a question: doesn't 'President Elect' mean that the electoral college vote has already taken place? Since it has not, how come Biden is referred to (and refers to himself) as such?

I can understand the usual suspects making that 'mistake' on purpose (CNN, etc), but the whole of the planet including world leaders?

I could be wrong of course, and maybe it's enough for 'the math to add up' (i.e. 'first-past-the-post model).

Thank you.
