In a 269-269 electoral tie, one elector would defect to the national popular vote winner to give him/her a majority when the electoral college convenes.

You really think so? These electors are picked by their party.

I'm struggling to imagine a GOP elector choosing to vote for the Democratic nominee if the Dems were to win the popular vote. And imagining a Democratic elector voting for Trump is almost impossible.
Fitzpatrick in PA maybe. If the Dem is moderate enough.
