So which is it, was Davis "selected" or elected".

Are you that ill-informed of the period which you have been flapping your gums over? Have you so little knowledge of history that you are not aware that Davis was selected in February 1861 by the representatives of the so-called provisional confederate government? And that he later ran, unopposed, in a sham election that fall? Haven't you read any history of the time?
