OK, another question then . How does the party divide up the electoral votes to determine which member chooses which votes go where?

Now that even I'm confused at what I'm trying to say, let me try to reword it. If that guy's party won the state, how does the electoral college or party decide who is responsible for each vote? Couldn't his party just not give him a vote since he already stated it wouldn't be used? If each party picks who will use the votes if they win, why is this even an issue?

Can anybody tell how much I paid attention during those classes in school? Thanks for the info.
