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.

Voters cast ballots for the President in an election. Each state has a number of electoral votes. When a candidate wins the popular vote for THAT state, they are awarded the electoral votes for that state. The candidate with the greatest number of electoral votes (not the greatest number of popular votes) is the winner of the election
