Yes, we do it that way. The Electoral College never has a meeting.

Remember that when that Amendment was passed it was contemplated that Electors were free to vote their convictions, and might well vote (although I don't know that they did it) for a president/vice-president combination not the choice of the same party.

Since the days of pre-pledged electors there have been only a VERY few cases of electors not following their advance pledge. About half of the states prohibit electors voting for candidates for whom they were not pledged.
