Often, but not necessarily.

We have a popular vote for president, but in each state, we are voting for slates of electors. That means that the state as a whole votes as a block.

States don't HAVE to do this; Nebraska and Maine split their electors, and in the 2008 presidential election, Nebraska elected 4 of Senator McCain's electors, 1 of Senator Obama's.
