The constitution calls for the President to elected by electors from the states. It allows the state legislatures to decide how to choose its electors. Probably most of the framers expected the legislatures to elect the electors rather than holding a popular election to choose them.
The electoral college elects the US president. When the people vote for president, they are actually voting for the electors who made up the electoral college and who actually elect the president. The electors pledge to support one particular candidate. The electors never meet as a group but each elector votes in his state capital and the votes are sent to the Senate president. They are counted in a joint session of Congress.

True.
The Electoral College does not convene as one body but instead the electors meet in the state capitols of their respective states; most of these meetings of electors will happen in most of the states on December 15.

The Electoral College is a body of representatives from each state that officially elects the President and Vice President of the United States. When citizens cast their votes in presidential elections, they are actually voting for a slate of electors pledged to vote for a specific candidate. Each state has a number of electors based on its population and congressional representation, and a candidate needs a majority of the 538 electoral votes to win the presidency. This system can result in a candidate winning the presidency without winning the popular vote, as electors are awarded on a winner-takes-all basis in most states.
