The party of each candidate selects a slate of state electors. It is these people we actually vote for when we cast a ballot for president, not the candidate. The slate with the most votes gets to cast electoral votes for the President. Although each elector is sworn to vote for a specific candidate, there is no control on how they can vote and occasionally there is a "faithless" elector who crosses his party either by mistake or on purpose.
