Are same-state electors talking to each other?

Are individual electors worried about indirect reprisals if they vote against Trump and their vote doesn't change anything?

If the independent electors vote, will they either abstain or vote for another republican? If the latter, who?

If the electors don't vote for Trump, will they be immediately replaced by someone who will?
