The framers of the Constitution didn't think they could trust the election to 'us' with a popular vote count, hence electoral college. Most states are 'winner takes all' (electoral votes). But there is only a $10,000 fine for not voting with the party in control of the states electoral college, so it's a political vote decision not 'popular vote' decision. So an electoral voters allegiance is to a party not to the popular vote result.
