The Electoral College will still exist but if a state legislature doesn't like how the state voted (say if Ohio goes for Biden) they can simply replace the electors going to Washington and replace them with electors who will vote for their candidate.

This has happened in dozens of swing states where they changed the laws allowing them to replace electors.
