The concept of popular votes within a State determining the electors, while done by all States, isn't required.
I have been living in Texas all my life (67 years) and at no time, either in public school or through local news have I ever been asked to vote for an electoral college member or even told who/what they are. This still remains a secret to most of our Texas voters and my bet is this holds true for other states as well.
In this case, silence IS NOT golden.

Exactly. That some states require their EC members to be bound to their State's popular vote and other don't proves that the founding fathers felt most of the details about EV should be left to the States with procedural matters being common on a national level.
