I assume it's quite state-specific as to what power the parties have to
replace electors as this point--indeed, recall the Sherrod Brown
incident<http://electionlawblog.org/archives/002241.html>in 2004 that
was averted because he resigned and the party could select a
replacement. But I thought it was worth flagging. There have been, after
all, incidents of canvassing electors after the election but before the
electors cast their votes; and the surveys of Robert M. Alexander,
"Lobbying the Electoral College: The Potential for Chaos" in *Electoral
College Reform *(Gary Bugh ed. 2010), provide for some great detail.

Best,

Derek
