Well they can pick who they want but historically they vote along side the popular vote. Only 4 times in US history has a candidate won the electoral vote without the popular vote. In that regard whoever you vote into office on your state and local level does reflect in presidential elections

Usually lobbyists buy politicians in senate and the house after they've been put into office. So your vote does still count on the local and state level. :thumbsup:
