They are working an easy work around. Several states have changed their laws to award EC votes not by who won the state but who won the poplular vote. They won’t activate until they have enough states on board....

I understand that the constitution grants wide latitude as to how states choose electors, but I would argue that scheme violates the guarantee of a republican form of government. In effect they would be representing the will of the people of the several states and not the state which they represent. At that point the electoral college becomes a vestigial body with no function.
