Why are select elements not as wide as other form elements?

If I set a select and a text input to the same width, the width of the select element is always a few pixels less than the width of the text input. This seems to happen whether I set the width in pixels or percent. Does anyone know why? Is there any way to prevent this?Minimal demo: http://codepen.io/nosecreek/pen/wehKuTested in Chrome and IE7
