The U. S. Constitution leaves it totally up to each state to decide that.
Andrew Jackson was the leader in electoral votes and in popular votes in 1824 but he did not get the required majority of electoral votes and so the House decided the election as the constitution requires.
No the next president is decided by the amount of electoral votes the candidate gets. They need to have so many electoral votes to win the elections.
The amount of electoral votes a candidate will get in Virginia is decided by a primary ballot. Virginia is not a caucus state.

If the electoral college is not able to elect a President, the election goes to the House of Representatives.
The electoral votes are (more or less) decided by how many popular votes are cast for the candidates in various districts. So especially if you vote in a "swing state" and in an undecided district it is important to vote.
The Presidency is decided by the House of Representatives.
