When you "vote for president and vice president", you are actually voting, in most states, for the slate of electors of your state who have pledged to vote for the candidates you selected on the ballot.

For example, if you are in California and you select Barack Obama and Joe Biden on the ballot, you are actually voting for the 55 potential electors who have pledged to vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
