Who Elects the President?
If you're an American citizen, 18 years of age or older, you probably think you have the right to vote for presidential candidates in the national election. You're wrong! In our country, when citizens punch their ballots for President, they actually vote for a slate of electors. Electors then cast the votes that decide who becomes President of the United States. Does this mean that an individual citizen's vote doesn't count? Not at all — when citizens exercise their right to vote, they do their part in electing the candidate of their choice. They determine the electoral vote for their state.
Usually, electoral votes align with the popular vote in an election. But four times in our nation's history, the person who took the White House did not receive the most popular votes (Rutherford Hayes, Benjamin Harrison John Quincy Adams, and George W. Bush). How did this happen? Aren't we a democracy? What were the founding fathers thinking?

An electoral college is a set of electors who are empowered as a deliberative body to elect someone to a particular office. Often these electors represent different organization or entity with each organization or entity represented by a particular number of electors or with votes weighted in a particular way. Many times, though, the electors are simply important persons whose wisdom, it is hoped, would provide a better choice than a larger body. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_college

Curious i have become, who are these bastards? Well this next site tells the process in which they are elected but do you ever remember voting for the electors? Do you know of any elector elections? Do you know any of their names?
Who electors are and how they are pickedThe electors of the Electoral College are real people. How they are selected is determined by both state law and the rules of the political parties. According to the U.S. Office of the Federal Register, "Generally, the political parties nominate electors at their State party conventions or by a vote of the party's central committee in each State. Electors are often selected to recognize their service and dedication to their political party. They may be State elected officials, party leaders, or persons who have a personal or political affiliation with the Presidential candidate. Then the voters in each State choose the electors on the day of the general election. The electors' names may or may not appear on the ballot below the name of the candidates running for President, depending on the procedure in each State."
And here's how you find them,
Where you can find electors' namesLaws regarding the listing of electors before the Nov. 7 election vary from state-to-state. In most states, the names of electors can be obtained from the Secretary of State or State Elections Division. In some states, the electors for each party are listed on the official ballot under the names of the candidates.
