----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.----

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

Statewide? I don't know about W. Virginny, but in Texas electors are selected by House District, in the State Convention of each Party. The two electors that represent the our two Senators are picked by the COnvention ata large. There is no mandate that a State award Elecotrs based on state wide results, and Maine, for one, does not. Two electors are selected at large and the rest are awarded by House of Representative Distirct.
