I agree with you that it isn't fair to change the rules after the fact, and is why I don't think electors should be reassigned. If there was indeed massive fraud or constitutional departures, then a special election should be held.

Ironically with all of the asking for the electors to be "faithless" (IIRC, that's the technical term) and not vote for Trump, Hillary Clinton, lost five of her pledged electors while Trump only lost two. This became the largest numbers of electors to defect, surpassing the six who defected from Madison back in 1803.
