If there's any modern case to be made for the electoral college, it's in these states. If they aren't all effectively faithless voters, then the founding purpose of the college is not true and should be done away with. Instead, it sounds like the faithless voters, should there be any, and if they defect, would vote for some other Republican. So it's not like Hillary would win just because Donald doesn't get enough votes.
If the election is questionable, the state legislatures can pick its Electors, and they should. That's what authenticates the process. Of course there needs to be more facts than just speculation there's been tampering or fraud; but the way these systems are designed, they may not have sufficient auditing to determine it, itself a big problem.
