Representatives from the state cast their vote based on the way their constituents vote. Candidates have won the electoral vote and lost the popular vote.

The Electoral College does not directly choose the positions of presidential candidates on issues. Instead, candidates usually develop their positions based on their party's platform, personal beliefs, and feedback from constituents during the campaign. This process is similar whether the president is elected through the Electoral College or a popular vote.

How would a party loyalist vote?

I presume you mean someone who is excessively loyal to his a party. Such a person would obviously vote for all his parties candidates and positions, that is vote a straight-party ticket.


If you vote for a straight ticket does that mean you are not electing the president?

No. It means that you are voting for all the Republican candidates or all of the Democratic candidates for the several political offices that are up for election at that time. In Presidential election years ther will also be elections for some Senators, some Representatives, some Governors, some local legislators and other local officials. All of the candidates for each office for each party are shown in line one above the other. Voting for all the candidates for one party requires the voter to cast votes "straight down the line" from President to the most local office, i. e. voting a straight ticket. This is also called "bullet voting."

One term is "bullet voting", because the voter goes straight down the line of candidates just like a bullet from a gun. Another term is "line voting", which comes from the same concept but also has the connotation of voting the entire line of candidates.
