We still use the Electoral College today because there is still support for electing the president by a national popular vote, eliminating the process of assigning electors among the state by rules that violate the principle of one person, one vote.
Do the people really vote for president?
No, the vote for president is called the popular vote and that does not count. When you cast your vote for president, you are actually voting for the electors to vote for the president.
What role does the popular vote play in a presidential election?
It has absolutely no impact at all. If something catastrophic happens before an election which could impact the general public's decision to vote well, it is the electoral colleges job to make sure that the correct vote is made. For instance, if the favored candidate's brother is charged with serial murder, and so people decide that they don't trust that candidate anymore, the popular vote will be against him, but the electoral college will vote for him because it is unfair to vote against the candidate just because his brother made a terrible mistake. The only impact people have in the election is that the popular vote is casted before the electoral vote, and so the electoral collage will usually vote the same way as the popular vote unless they feel that the popular vote was bias. The electoral college is not supposed to vote based on their opinion, but on the validity of the popular vote.

Is it true that Americans do not vote directly for presidential candidates?
Yes, it is true that Americans do not vote directly for their presidential candidates. Their votes are considered to be indirect due to the use of the Electoral College.
Has a state electoral vote ever gone against the states poplar vote?
Yes. In early elections, there wasn't necessarily a "popular vote". Some states selected their electors based upon a vote in the state legislature. In those cases, I'm not sure if it make sense to say it "went against" the popular vote, but it also certainly was not the same as the popular vote, because there was no popular vote. Also, there have been "faithless electors". These are electors who, basically, promised to vote for one candidate, and voted for another. This is a sort of "going against" the popular vote. In a sense, in most states the electoral vote always "goes against" the popular vote in the sense that the popular vote might be split 55/45, but the electoral vote will be 100/0. Only a couple of states "split" the electoral vote. It's arguable that we should abolish the electoral college and just use the popular vote directly to determine the President, but this would effectively weaken the major parties, so don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.
