13413400, Faithless elector laws that penalize are in place in a lot of the contested states

Not saying this to minimize the seriousness of what's going on, but were faithless electors to move forward they'd be subject to penalty in some of the contested states:

"Thirty-two states have some sort of faithless elector law, but only 15 of those remove, penalize or simply cancel the votes of the errant electors. The 15 are Michigan, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Washington, California, New Mexico, South Carolina, Oklahoma and North Carolina. Although Maine has no such law, the secretary of state has said it has determined a faithless elector can be removed."
