When citizens vote in a presidential election, what are they actually voting for, precisely?
I think it is for a state representative in the electoral college. That electoral college representative for the state is the only person that votes directly for the president.
Am I right?

I believe you are correct.
So if each electoral college representative represents the ballot for each House of Representative District plus an additional two (one for each senator), why can't we require each representative to vote how the majority voted in each of the Congressional Districts?
The two ballots (one for each Senator) could be assigned by the Governor.
The outcomes, past and present, might be different. California, for example, would not be all Dem (winner take all).
