Of course, they are state electors. But they fill a federal purpose. There is an open question that states have any power over them except to choose them.

It isn't an open question. The laws have been upheld as they are state electors.

State Control of Electors

There is no federal law that requires electors to vote as they have pledged, but 29 states and the District of Columbia have legal control over how their electors vote in the Electoral College. This means their electors are bound by state law and/or by state or party pledge to cast their vote for the candidate that wins the statewide popular vote.
