I’m not sure about that. There may be some states that could invalidate that elector’s vote.

The Constitution allows electors to vote for whomever they want. No state law can override the Constitution. A state may be able to punish faithless electors after the fact though. That punishment may or may not be Constitutional. It's never been tested as far as I know.
