My guess is Trump and supporters will suddenly abandon their love of the Electoral college and demand that the will of the people be upheld (though not the majority obviously only the will of the majority in swing states)

“At least some states have a law that they can replace an unfaithful elector immediately if he doesn’t vote as he pledged, with another elector who will”

Is that true? Would you mind citing a source? I was under the impression that (some) states had laws requiring electors to vote for their pledged candidate, but their was nothing they can do to stop them. And even those regarding those laws (which are mostly small fines) it is unclear how constitutional they are
