Presidents are elected

Answer 1

US citizens vote on the first Tuesday in November at the general election to elect the various members of the Senate and the House of Representatives as well as state and local government officials.

The elected members of the Federal Congress (Senate and House of Representatives) carry Electoral College votes from their home states, usually based on the majority party winner in each states polls.

The President is elected by polling the votes each state brings to the Electoral College.

In this day of televised counting and recounting the outcome of the Electoral College vote can be predicted before the college meets, but can still not be a guaranteed foregone conclusion, any state can change how it votes at the Electoral College - there is nothing in the constitution that binds it representatives to the Electoral College to vote along party political lines. It simply customary to do so.
