Technically, yes.  That's how the Constitution designed it.

Practically, though, no.

Citizens, dead people, and illegal immigrants vote for Electors who
are pledged to vote for a specific candidate.

So if the Electors suddenly decide to vote for candidate A while being pledged to vote for candidate B (maybe because their bank balance suddenly got increased by ,say, 10 mil dollars), then what happens ? does Candidate B become the president ? Has the people got no say in this ?
