How ‘EXACTLY’ are the electors choosen? and does it happen at the convention?
“The process for selecting electors varies throughout the United States. Generally, the political parties nominate electors at their State party conventions or by a vote of the party’s central committee in each State. Electors are often selected to recognize their service and dedication to their political party.”

These are the most loyal and dedicated of party members and the reason why so few become “faithless”. Currently just 2 of the Rep electors have indicated they will not vote for trump as has 1 of the Clinton electors.
It happens at state conventions in almost all states. Likely Maine and Nebraska chose at Congressional District conventions. The job goes mostly to long-time party regulars. They are not anonymous by any stretch, especially in small states.
BTW, I know a guy who was an Iowa GOP Elector in 2004. He was bombed with requests to switch his vote to Kerry, so harassing Electors isn’t new.
