but 29 states and the District of Columbia have legal control over how their electors vote in the Electoral College.

In 29 states, the electors are legally bound to vote for the states choice.

Why do you keep repeating this? Read the link you posted which tells you “Many constitutional scholars agree that Electors remain FREE AGENTS despite state laws and that, if challenged, such laws would be ruled unconstitutional.” and “Indeed, when it comes down to it, electors are free to vote for whom they personally prefer, despite the general public’s desire.”

These statements should be sufficient proof that your argument rests on nothing consitutional.
