The state legislatures plenary power to appoint electors? Because if not, even if it passes, they will award their electoral votes to the winner of the state, if the gop happens to control both houses. And even if they don't, if their state is won by a sizable or huge margin, they would fear the political fallout from not voting the way their constituents did.
