Doh :) Laws regarding equality in voting do kick in once a state decides to allow its citizens to vote, however. And, of course - as you mentioned, there is no law compelling delegates to vote for the candidate that was voted for by the ballots. And, of course, the winner of a presidential election is really not official until after the vote by the electoral college. There have even been cases of faithless electors casting votes for someone other than the candidate that they pledged to vote for.
