It is extremely unlikely that a candidate would drop out of the campaign after the November election, when the electors are appointed. However, in the election of 1872, Grant's main opponent, Horace Greeley, died between the casting of the popular votes in November and the casting of the electoral votes in December. Those electors who had pledged to vote for Greeley ended up spitting their votes among four others, and the three votes that Greeley did receive were not counted. Greeley would not have had enough votes to beat Grant anyway.

Delegates to a party's national convention are selected through primary elections and?
Caucuses. The delegates all attend the national party convention at the end of summer/beginning of fall and formally cast their votes for the candidates they already pledged their vote to. Candidates often drop out as the primaries go on if they feel they are not going to win. The delegates awarded to them then have to vote for someone else at the convention.
