Answer:

All cast in the vote for who they want as their president and then the elections are held and all the ballots are counted and the person with the most ballots wins and everything is counted in Electoral College. They don't really select because they are picked by their Party they win the Party they are running for and then they run against the opposite party so in this case it is Republicans Vs. Democrats.

Answer: Wait were you talking about the present day?

A candidate must receive 270 of the 538 electoral votes to become President or Vice President. If a candidate for President fails to receive 270 votes, the House itself will choose the President from among the three individuals who received the most electoral votes
