Imagine if a State passed a law that said that a Congresscritter could not switch parties, and that he had to vote for the nomineee of his parties caucus for Speaker / Majority Leader. Would that be upheld? No. what is the difference? What's more, the whole purpose of the Electoral College is to isolate the selection of the President from the popular vote.

Irrelevant comparisons, since neither example has to do with the conduct of statewide elections.
