Right, but as far as I know, the results of how the electors actually vote is never shown in Kansas.

Maybe I just don't research far enough.

This should help explain the process which though looks complicated is actually very straightforward.
You vote, the state electors vote and then the house certifies.

This on the Congressional Research Service site bears on what you're asking:

December 14, 2020: Electors Vote in Their States
Monday after the second Wednesday in December of
presidential election years is set (3 U.S.C. §7) as the date on
which the electors meet and vote. In 2020, the meeting is on
December 14. Electoral college delegations meet separately
in their respective states and the District of Columbia at
places designated by theirstate legislature.The electors
vote by paper ballot, casting one ballot for President and
one for Vice President. The electors count the results and
then sign six certificates, each of which containstwo lists,
one of which includesthe electoral votes for the President,
the other, electoral votes for the Vice President, each of
which includes the names of persons receiving votes and
the number of votes cast for them. These are known as
Certificates of the Vote, which the electors are required to
sign. They then pair the six Certificates of Ascertainment
provided by the state governors with the Certificates of the
Vote, and sign, seal, and certify them(3 U.S.C. §§8-10).
The sixcertificates are then distributed by registered mail
as follows: (1) one certificate to the President of the U.S.
Senate (the Vice President); (2)two certificates to the
secretary of state (or equivalent officer) of the statein
which the electors met; (3) two certificates to the Archivist;
and (4) one certificate to the judge of the U.S. district court
of the district in which the electors met (3 U.S.C. §11).

Note the part at the end telling who gets the documents. The National Archives is in the business of holding and distributing information. They may post the certificate information, or furnish it on request. Stuff is public record I should think....

And it's just our votes for President and Vice President that are handled by the electoral college ?

What about votes for Senators and House Reps ?

Those are counted and certified at the state level. Popular vote total decides. No Electoral College.

I think the electoral college was because the founding fathers saw voters like most of you coming.

Anyhow, hope all of you are doing well.

Zero, you need to always check to see if the Nazis are on your side. If they are, you're on the wrong side.
