I fully understand her reasoning (protest of DC's status) but how is this legal?
Electors can vote for whomever they want.
So, for instance, if the election looked like it was coming down to a 269-269 split, a Democratic Electoral College member from Utah, or Republican Electoral College member from the District of Colombia could decide to vote for the other side to tip the scales?

There wouldn't be a Democratic elector from Utah or a Republican elector from D.C. unless the election had turned out very differently.
