Who puts in the Electoral College members?
Per Article 2, Section 1: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct,a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

Each party posts a slate of Electors, mostly relatively unknowns, although their names are public.
This is a nothing decision, there have always been so-called “Faithless Electors”; Trump had 2 R Electors not vote for him in 2016, and Hillary had 5 Faithless Electors.
Of course, this still benefits the D’s by not outlawing Faithless Electors, and despite the 2016 results of the R’s ‘winning’ the Faithless Elector battle 2 to 5; historically, there are more RINO’s than Blue-Dog Democrats who would be willing to not vote for their party’s nominee.
Those are one-and-done situations. Once you are a Faithless Elector, your party will never put you on a future slate of Electors.
In Arizona it’s the State Republican Chair.
