How are electors of the electoral college selected to cast a state's official electoral votes in the presidential election?
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.

How is the president of the US decided?
Every state has a certain amount of electors, and after the people of each state vote, the electors cast their votes based on their state. All of the electors in each state cast the same vote. The number of electors each state gets is their total number of representatives in Congress (house + senate) well, after the citizens of America vote on it, congress takes their votes and figures out who the people want, then they disreguard them. then congress has another vote on it and decides. its kinda like asking for dinner, the citizens can tell the congress what they want for dinner, but congress is in the kitchen so they get to decide in the end, whether you like it or not.
