Easy. As in California, the EC electors are bound by law on the first, I
think, two votes to vote for the candidate selected by the state. On a
third vote, they can vote for whomever they wish.

3 votes? Now I don't understand that. Hmmm

I believe the thinking is that after a couple of votes with no winner
somebody needs to change or they will be sending it over to the house.
I am not sure how many "do overs" the EC will have since the
Constitution is silent on it. I suppose they could just toss it over
to the house after the first vote if nobody gets a majority.

When the electors vote, there may not be enough to elect. So they vote
again. On the 3rd vote, at least the California electors do not have to
vote for the winner of the states vote.
