There are a few times when the electoral college representatives did not vote for the popular candidate or did not vote at all. Mostly it's been done in protest. In one of the most recent elections, I forget which, one of the representatives obstained from voting in Washington DC to protest the fact that DC does not have representation in Congress. Maine is an exception and their electors vote in proportion to the popular vote, which I think should be applied everywhere.
