I’m no legal expert but a few of the articles I read suggested that the opinion was quite broad and not really limited to the state laws themselves even though that was what originated the case. I believe the opinion extended beyond that and said that electors (everywhere) are not free agents that they need to vote for the candidate the states have chosen.

This is one blog that has a concluding sentence that when the college meets in December that there should be no suspense because of the ruling.
