Votes are counted by normal citizens who apply/volunteer for the job. The votes are counted in the county in which they occurred. Citizens' votes are known as the popular vote. However, this doesn't decide who wins the election and ultimately has no importance. The victor needs 270 electoral votes to actually win the election. Electoral votes are votes given by the representatives and senators (Congress). If no candidate achieves 270 electoral votes, then the House of Representatives will vote between the three candidates who received the most electoral votes and the Senate will vote between the two vice presidents who received the most electoral votes. If the House cannot decide, then the vice president appointed by the Senate will become president until the issue is resolved.
