When citizens cast their ballots for president in the popular vote, they elect a slate of electors. Electors then cast the votes that decide who becomes president of the United States. Usually, electoral votes align with the popular vote in an election.

Answer:

I think that they vote either for their party or for the opposing party it just depends on the person really.

Explanation: the electoral college solidifies the win f the new president. otherwise, if the old president is thinking about getting impeached than that's when the electors come in hopes this helps if it doesn't make sense contact me
