False
About half the states have state laws that require the elector to cast his vote according to popular vote. The others do not. However, the electors are chosen for their party loyalty and have worked hard and contributed money to elect their
party's candidate. It is highly unlikely that one would be a traitor to his party. The votes are not secret.
