All of this happens per state law. State laws are why the Electors take a pledge.

See Maine, Nebraska. Vote split between 2 candidates.
2016: Texas, Hawaii, Washington, Maine all had multiple candidates receive votes and Congress accepted them.

But the 12th amendment supersedes state law via the supremacy clause of Article VI.

The 12th amendment allows for multiple candidates to be voted on for President by the electors of a single state.

Do you dispute this from a plain reading of the amendment?
