npub1fzl62au2n3z78famxg433zkxkms9ald5qew9fzvsk5gcfzus5vzqgeu422 (npub1fzl…u422) No, states don’t have legal authority to bound their electors to the candidate that want.

Yes, there is permission on the books for states to punish electors that vote differently, but the electors are still free to vote differently, to accept that punishment if they want, they are still unbound to the state election result.

And even that idea is a bit questionable with a lot of people arguing that states have no authority to exact such punishments, even if that is currently the state of the rules.
