1.
Voters in the General Election are technically voting for the Presidential Electors, not directly for the candidates for President and Vice President.

DUTIES OF AN ELECTOR
The electors meet in their respective States, where they cast their votes for President and Vice President on separate ballots. Your State's electors' votes are recorded on a Certificate of Vote, which is prepared at the meeting by the electors.
