The winner of the popular vote was not granted the president.
In the 2000 United States presidential election, Republican candidate George W. Bush won by defeating Democratic nominee Al Gore. It was the fourth of five presidential elections in which the winning candidate lost the popular vote, which means securing less of the national popular vote than the person who received either a majority or a plurality of the vote.
I believe that the answer to the question provided above is that when using popular vote he could have not won. But since popular vote is not used he was then given the title president elect. Hope my answer would be a great help for you. If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.
Reconquista means "reconquest" and is generally used to describe the re-population of the southwest American territories by Mexicans (since their land was originally taken by the United States).
