The electoral votes come from the citizens who vote within the states. The bigger the state, the higher the electoral vote. For example, California has 55 electoral votes. The president needs to obtain these votes for presidency.

What is an electoral vote. Why are they needed. I thought the people's vote counted and who ever got the most votes won the election.?

Imagine that you divide a state with invisible lines and the population within those lines is what makes an electroal vote. Pretty much like a district. When you vote, your vote goes into your electoral area. Say we have 500 people in an electroal area in the state of Alabama. 450 people vote R and 50 vote D. Then you have one electroal vote for R. If you have 251 vote R and 249 vote D you have one more R electroal vote. Bottom line is that it is the people who vote but it isn't necessarily counted by each individual vote.
