I just learned that apparently Alaska's entire Republican Electoral College slate is Paultards. Even if only two of the three decide to be faithless electors, that's still a whole state for Paul!

Alaska is one of those states that have laws to penalise faithless electors.

I am by no means an expert, but the statute in question

doesn't actually look like it provides for any sort of penalty. Could someone confirm/deny, please?

No penalties have ever been enforced. I think that would be the case in pretty much any instance where it didn't alter the outcome. If it did affect the outcome, the case would probably end up at the Supreme Court.

Wikipedia lists Alaska as one of the states with penalties for faithless electors. Of course it could be an error.
