I don't know quite what this means, but no state can have laws that bind an elector once elected.  The issue of faithless electors is, I believe, pretty well established.

Wiki states that in Michigan/Minnesota that a faithless elector's vote is considered void.

But Michigan and Minnesota don't get to decide whether their electors' votes are valid.  They'd have to persuade the House to reject those electoral votes.
