If by "they" you mean the electoral college, then yes. But if you mean "they" as in The People, then no - they voted for Hillary Clinton. I'm not a fan of either, for the record; but even with the voting irregularities which indicate fraud in favor of Trump, > 50% of the popular vote was for Clinton.
