Article 2, Section 1, Clauses 3 and 4

It's where the Electoral College is mentioned. It says that each state decides how it appoints Electors.

You then have to look at each state's individual constitution to see what they have decided in regards to how they set up deciding Electors. I'm 99% positive that all states use popular vote of candidates to decide their Electors.

Article 1, Section 4 already details that individual states decide the time, places, and manner in how people vote.

While that part doesn't explicitly say that it applies to voting for President/Vice President, for practical reasons, it extends to the Presidential Election, as well.

I don't know of any state that has a separate election specifically for the President/Vice President and then a separate election for Senators and Representatives and Governors and whatever else a state is voting on during the years we vote for president/Vice president. It really wouldn't make much sense to have people voting twice, in different manners, for separate elections.

The Presidential tickets are included among the other elections each state is holding for that term. Such as Senators and Representatives. So the same laws that spell out each state's methods of voting extends to the Presidential race as well.

This was debated ad nauseum during 2020, when there were so many court cases filed claiming that mail in voting was illegal. I don't have the time to dig up those cases, but if you're interested in it, that's certainly something you could do. I do remember that every case was found that mail in voting was legal, though.
