It’s not actually that important. In many states it’s illegal for the elector to vote for something other than the popular vote and in the others it’s unheard of to go a different way and it would be made pretty quickly illegal if it happened.

There was hubbub to do this when Trump was going to be elected and they prevented it.

There's a case before the Supreme Court about this right now, and I can't really guess what the outcome will be.

But even if illegal it still can happen and as far as I know that flipped vote of the elector would still count.

Yep, but given that it doesn’t happen, it’s not really relevant as some kind of IAmVerySmart comment claiming that people don’t vote for the US President. They effectively do.
