They are selected, but ahead of time. I read an article on election day about a Dem college voter from WA who vowed to not vote for her. Basically you can do it, but there are fines and repercussions within the party these people probably don't want to deal with. I don't think there has been a case where a college voter has impacted the outcome of the election, so it may be uncharted waters still.
