Voters should go to the polls with the confidence that their vote will count and that the Electoral College will be corruption-free. However far from perfect the current system may be, the chaos of an unbound Electoral College would have been even worse.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/faithless-electors/607831/ …

A HUGE win for democracy!! So called "faithless electors" actually patriots in 2016. Had this been the law then, candidate who won Popular Vote by an extreme margin would likely have also won the election. Of course, it only matters IF there are any patriots among the electors.
