I've read elsewhere that the electors can still vote against their states, but will be prosecuted/fined for that behavior. Can anyone confirm this? If Soros is willing to pay the fines this may not matter much.
It seems the Supreme Court just decided that whatever a state wants to do here is fine, and up to the state to decide.
Right now, some states have laws in place that faithless electors have to pay a fine. One state that I'm aware of says that faithless electors cannot exist.
I always considered this unconstitutional. It seems the Supreme Court just decided that states can do whatever it wants in this regard.

I suppose that's how it should be, states rights after all.
