The voters in the state. That's who we are actually voting for when we vote for President, since the Constitution does not allow for direct election of the President. When a candidate wins in a state, the electors who are pledged to that candidate are the ones sent to formally vote on who wins the election. In some states, the person with the most votes gets all the states electoral votes and in others the electoral votes are divided according to how many votes each candidate got. The are even variations on these two methods.
This means that it is possible for one candidate to get the most overall votes in the country, but not be elected President because too many of votes he got were in states with too few electoral votes. This has happened twice in American history: 1876 when Hayes got fewer votes than Tilden, but won anyway, and in 2000 when HGore got more votes than Bush.

How are states presidential electors chosen?
In truth, the state legislatures have plenary (ultimate) power to appoint the Presidential Electors for the state. In practice, all legislatures delegate the power to select Electors pledged to support various candidates to a ballot referendum in some form or fashion. Most states allow for a winner-take-all, first-past-the-post method of election. However, in the event that the popular election of Presidential Electors is disputed or litigated, all state legislatures reserve the power to appoint their Electors.
