“State voters elect delegates to their state's Electoral College. The Presidential Electors elect the President.”

What will voters be voting for on their Nov ballot, delegates or POTUS ? Which of those will be listed on the ballot?

Sorry, too cute by half.

Laws differ by state. In some states, the line on the ballot will read "Electors pledged to Such-and-such a candidate". In other states the line on the ballot will read "Such-and-such a candidate". In the end it doesn't matter.

When you cast your vote for president, you are voting for Presidential Electors pledged to a specific candidate, not the actual candidate. It's just how it works. It's not cute at all.
