On the Election Day voters in really vote for the members of the Electoral College -the Electors.
The Electors are sometimes, but not always (then they are called "unpledged electors") obliged to vote for the candidate that won in the state - but they almost always do so.

Voters for president are really voting for electors on Election Day. The United States Constitution founded Electoral College which is formed every four years for the only purpose of electing the president and vice-president of the United States.
EXPLANATION:
There are some modern mechanics in United States Electoral College:
• Apportionment
The number of electors in a state is the same as the quantity of representatives, added two more electors for the two state senators in the United States Congress. The quantity of representatives is based on each population, determined every 10 years by the United States Census.
• Nominations
The custom of permitting recognized political parties to vote for several potential voters was developed earlier. Contemporarily, each presidential and vice-presidential ticket has a list of potential elector candidates. Then on Election Day, the voter chooses a ticket and thus chooses the related electors.
Prospective electors are nominated by a national branch of a nationally oriented political party in the months before Election Day. In several states, electors are nominated in the primaries by voters, just as other presidential candidates are nominated.
• Selection Process
Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution needs each state legislature to decide how electors for the state will be elected, but it bans any person who holds a federal office, whether appointed or elected, to be an elector.
Under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, anyone who vows to support the United States Constitution to hold state or federal office, and then rebel against the United States directly or by assisting those who do, is banned from the election. However, Congress may eliminate this ineligibility by two-thirds of the votes in each Council.
• Meetings
Electoral College has never met as one body. Electors meet in their relevant state capitals (electors for the District of Columbia meet in the District) on Monday after the second Wednesday in December, when the time they vote for their elections in separate votes for the president and vice-president. Even though the procedures in each state are slightly different, voters generally follow a similar set of steps, and Congress has constitutional authority to standardize the procedures followed by the states.
• Faithlessness
An elector can vote for anyone for each office as long as one of the votes, either president or vice president is an individual who is not a resident of the same state like the elector. However, "unfaithful voters" are those who vote for someone other than the party candidates they promise to vote for or who abstain.
