A state could just hold a separate "election" for president on a day earlier than the general Election Day and call it a "recommendation referendum" to the state legislature.
The state legislature could make any rules they want for this "recommendation referendum" (the Constitution give the Feds no authority over this other than determining the days of elector appointment and voting).
The votes could remain uncounted until Election Day, then they would be counted and the state legislature would appoint electors.
It is unlikely voters would want to vote in two separate elections.
How's that for voter suppression...
