Agreed, but as far as I know its never effected the outcome of an election.

Well, the thing you have to realize is that electors cast their votes well after the popular elections, on the first Monday following the second Wednesday in December. By then, everyone knows who's won; it just hasn't been made official yet, which is what the electors do. So chances are that this particular elector won't vote in such a way as to cause a change in the result, as he'll know beforehand if that will be the case (making a reasonable assumption that none of the other electors will also be "faithless"). Of course, I could be wrong.
