Wrong. A similar decision was made in 2000 in Bush and Gore.

We are voting for the President. Not a state official.
The President rules over the whole country. Not an individual state.
You are misinformed. You are voting for a Constitutionally defined office called "Elector". That is a STATE office, chosen however the Legislature of your State decides. In their magnanimity, they let you vote. Mighty white of them. The Electors, in turn, vote for President and Vice President.
See Article II Section 1, and Amendment XII
What do you think the "Electoral College" is?
