Well it is done by a machine. After you cast your vote you would go put your ballot in a state of the art machine which has a memory card and at closing time they lock it up in a closet and then when it is time they will say what the results are to one of the states officials and then you see the results. You also probobly think how reliable can these things be, I have seen one of these and had a person who had worked for the town for several years and she told me everything about it. This was for the big election. I ensure you that these things are great.
Congress is responsible for counting all votes that are cast for the president and vice president within the Electoral College. The Office of the Federal Register at the National Archives and Records Administration are responsible for registering these votes.

The electoral votes are unsealed and counted under direction of the vice-president of the US acting as the president of the Senate at a joint session of the new Congress early in January following the election .
The Electoral College does not meet as one body, but rather the electors for each state meet in the chamber designated for that purpose in each state. In most states, the electors meet in that state's legislature building. The electors of each state follow their own rules of procedure, whereby an appointed secretary usually counts the votes cast orally. However, technically there are 51 different procedures (50 states + District of Columbia).
A computer counts the X Factor Votes. Hence why it is done so fast. Bagshad :)

Votes are certified by the auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (and its predecessor Price Waterhouse).
Well, they have a machine that counts everybody's calls or online votes and whoever has the most gets through the round.

Not sure what you want to know. Each electoral votes counts the same and 270 votes or more votes wins the election.
If your state votes opposite, than the majority of the state voters voted against you. Either way, your vote still counts!
In the 2008 US Presidential election: Barack Obama received 365 electoral votes. John McCain received 173 electoral votes. 270 were needed to win.
The votes of the electoral college are officially counted by the Congress. Each state also counts their own ballots.
They are sent to the president of the Senate who in a joint session of Congress opens and counts them.
