Correct. No one in the US votes for president/vice-president except the Electors. They aren't free to vote for whoever, tho', as most states require them to reflect the will of the people.

Occasionally, there are faithless electors, in which case lawyers get rich.

Recall that this is a remnant of a system that made complete sense at the end of the 18th C/beginning of the 19th C ... which was changed in 1804 (see 12th Amendment).
