Can the legislature of the states decide how presidential electors may be chosen?
No, members of the electoral college are chosen by each state's political party. For example, in California, the Democrats and Republicans (and presumably other parties such as the Green and Libertarian Parties) would select 55 devoted party members to be electors. California (as most states) has a winner-take-all system, so if, say Sen. Barack Obama won the popular vote of California, the 55 chosen electors of the Democratic Party of CA would go to their state capitol, Sacramento, on the Monday after the second Wednesday of December to cast their votes. In the 2008 election, it will be Dec. 15. The electors cast separate ballots for President and VP.

Originally they were expected to vote as they thought best for their states and the country.
