"Is this legal?"

Laws vary by states regarding so-called "faithless electors". West Virginia has no such law. More information can be found Here

Note that Congress has the power, under 3 U.S.C. 15, to refuse to accept a vote from a faithless elector.

But I doubt that Congress has the gravitas to refuse to accept a vote from a faithless elector...

I wonder, though, how they feel about electors who announce in advance that they don't care how the voters vote?
