The state assigns the electors and then they do their thing. But, they can go to Washington and cast their votes for whomever they please. Now, the parties pick the most loyal people to cast their votes and changing the vote would end any potential political future they may have, so it isn't common, but still.
Yeah I know this, I was just thinking if neither one gets to 273 then the horse trading can begin and the electors can vote someone other than Trump or Hillary.
