Of the 4 states they will be showing, Illinois (20 electors) and Virginia (13 electors) went for Clinton. Pennsylvania (20 electors) and Michigan (16 electors) went for Trump.

Really the only thing that matters here is whether there will be any “faithless electors” in PA or MI.

No.

There may be one or two faithless electors but it won’t upend the result.

Trump won. A month later and the Left is still fighting reality.

Tough to do when you’ve lost.

Michigan's law is pretty iron-clad. If an elector fails to vote as determined by the November results, it is considered an act of resignation and the incorrect vote is not counted. That rogue elector is then immediately replaced with an alternate.

Same law also says that Michigan electors meet at 2 PM ET. Not sure how C-Span has it scheduled for 3 hours earlier.

I don't see any restrictions on PA electors voting choice. But PA law says they are supposed to meet at Noon. Again, not sure why C-Span comes on and hour earlier?
