And here's from the expert who wrote THE book on the electoral college, @jessewegman
Jesse Wegman
This is incorrect, caps or not. All states give the choice of electors to the people directly. You can't change the rules after the game has been played.
Only if a state has "failed to make a choice" can legislature take back the electors. A close margin is not a failure. twitter.com/marklevinshow/
