    Their representatives do.

    Electors, not representatives.

    And guess what, their representatives don’t have to represent them. They can vote however they want.

    That depends on the state. While there are no federal provisions on how an elector should vote, several states do have rules requiring them to follow the popular vote. Additionally, the popular vote is used to select which electors (a.k.a. which parties electors) are sent.
