Who appointed the electors who cast those votes?
The Governor of each state or the Mayor of Washington DC is the one who signs the Certificate of Ascertainment, the official list of the electors appointed by the state or DC. In each state each ticket (each pair of a presidential candidate and his vice-presidential running mate) has its own slate of electors, a group of people totaling the full number of electors the state may appoint who are usually chosen by the political party and who have pledged to vote for the party's candidates. In most states and DC the ticket that receives the most popular votes statewide in the General Election gets their whole slate of electors appointed. In Maine and Nebraska only two electoral appointments in each state are based on the statewide popular vote, and each additional appointment is based on which ticket gets the most popular votes in each congressional district. Since adopting this method in 1972, however, Maine's two congressional districts have always voted the same, so all of Maine's votes go to one ticket in every election anyway. In fact, the only time that Maine has EVER split their presidential or vice-presidential electoral votes is when one of Maine's nine electors at the time voted for the Andrew Jackson/ John C. Calhoun ticket in 1828. Nebraska has been using this method since 1996 but has only actually split their votes once. In 2008 the McCain/Palin ticket got the most popular votes statewide and in two of Nebraska's three congressional districts. In the other district the Obama/Biden ticket got the most popular votes. So the Governor appointed four electors from the Republican slate of electors and one from the Democratic slate.
Who uses the gerrymandering?
"Gerrymandering" is the act of redrawing the size and borders of voting districts in such a way that a majority of voters for your political Party remains assured. In the last years the Republicans have used their majority very actively to do this and they have ensured that Democratic voters in a great number of districts cannot get their candidates elected to the House of Representatives in the future.
What kind of voters are voters that are not registered members of any political party?
Democratic
Does the Electoral College system fail to ensure that the choice for president accurately reflects the will of the majority of voters?
Yes. If you consider the "majority of voters" to be a majority of voters nationwide without regard to the state they are from, then it is possible for a person to be elected president if he/she wins enough electoral even if nationwide the majority of voters chose the other candidate. This is because electoral votes are counted state by state not on a percentage basis of the national voters (except for Maine and Nebraska).
