We are a Constitutional Republic, which means we vote for representatives to make decisions for us, the body politic. In a Presidential election you are actually voting for Electors who will render their vote in the Electoral College based on your vote and those of your fellow citizens in the State. Whatever candidate is determined to have received the most votes is who they will cast their ballot for as per the Constitution. So yes, one person, one vote, as it has been since our founding.
