if you read below it would be very rare for an elector to vote for the other guy.
Nomination of electors
Candidates for elector are nominated by their state political parties in the months prior to Election Day. The U.S. Constitution delegates to each state the authority for nominating and choosing its electors. In some states, the electors are nominated in primaries, the same way that other candidates are nominated. Other states, such as Oklahoma, Virginia, and North Carolina nominate electors in party conventions. In Pennsylvania, the campaign committees of each candidate name their candidates for presidential elector (an attempt to discourage faithless electors). All states require the names of all electors to be filed with the state's Secretary of State (or equivalent) at least a month prior to Election Day.
