The electoral college elects the president. The electoral college are people appointed by each state to represent the people within the state. The number of electoral votes depends on the number of representatives and senators a state has in Congress. The electoral college has to vote in favor of the people, as they are representing them by casting their vote. For example, if a state's electoral college votes to elect a republican but the 80% of the citizens vote to elect a democrat, then something is up. So the electoral college represents the people, so in a way, the people are voting for the president. The popular vote is when the citizens vote for the president. This has no factor in electing the president. However, it is just a fun and statistical point of view. It lets us see who the citizens actually want to be elected and can give insight on a president's approval rating. It also lets us see if the electoral college is working effectively.
