Carter certified by Electoral College as 39th U.S. president
Carter was certified as the 39th president after 51 small ceremonies with one maverick elector voting his own choice. The Electoral College produced 287 votes for Carter, 240 for Ford, and one for Reagan. Carter won the popular vote by 1,681,817 and results were to be Congress certified on Jan 6 before inauguration. The process faced criticism as Secretary of State Gloria Schaffer called the system a colonial anachronism.
