An almost historical precedent.
In the election of 1872 Horace Greeley was defeated by Ulysses Grant but did win 66 electoral votes. Greeley died before the Electoral College officially met (constitutionally this is before the actual election of the president) and so 63 of his electoral simply voted for other people. 3 electors held loyal and voted for Greeley but these votes were disqualified.
