" The 50 states have differing laws governing how an elector is required to vote. In some states, if Republican electors were to go rogue and cast their votes for Other, rather than the official Republican nominee on the ballot, they might be in breach of state law. However, the Electoral College has no internal enforcement mechanism to stop such breaches: It is the electors’ votes as they cast them that get sent to Congress, according to the Twelfth Amendment of the Constitution. So as long as there is no debate as to who a state’s electors are, because they were the ones appointed as a result of the citizens casting ballots on November 8, then whatever results these electors send to Congress are constitutionally the decisive votes for president. There is no stopping the electors from sending to Congress their votes for Other, if that’s what they decide to do."
