"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 State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct,a Number of Electors”

And that language does not allow the states to force the electors to vote for the candidate they are pledged to?

Insanity. No, it is an Obama acolyte.

"Per Article 2, Section 1: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct,"

So this state directed that an elector could be nullified if he didn't follow the state's instructions which was to vote according to the state's popular vote.

Where does the judge get off overriding the state legislature when the Constitution clearly assigns the power to the state legislature?

Should appeal this to SCOTUS.

The danger is people buying elector's votes, or threatening electors and people running as electors with evil intent.
