I don’t think any of the first several posters have read the Constitution. This isn’t a ‘Federal election’, it’s a state election that is run by the RI Legislature. If they wanted to pass a law saying all their electors vote for a particular person, they can. Federally, the presidential election means nothing. On a state level, 48 states require their electors to follow the popular vote. Only Maine and NE are proportional. BUT, simple legislation in any state can change how they choose their electors, and popular vote is only an option. It’s not even required, much less regulated by the FedGov, outside of the few requirements on allowing votes like women’s suffrage or voting age.

Not just the “first several” but almost all posters herein.
In fact, it’s hard to recall ever seeing so many ill-informed comments about a constitutional matter anywhere on the Internet.
