I thought I read that Nate Silver said a bunch of states passed some laws to effectively create a voting block in the Electoral College. Basically, those states pledged that if the winner of the overall popular vote lost the electoral vote, those states would vote for that person instead of the one that won the state.

Is this fact or fiction, and if fact, would it affect anything in this race? I assume not so much or everyone would be all over it.
