The states select Electoral Collage electors via the method approved by their state legislators. Currently, almost all states choose based on the vote within their state. Most award electors on a winner-take-all basis, but some states, Maine I think, have a proportional number of electors and not a winner-take-all basis. A few states have foolishly voted to give their Electoral College electors to the national popular vote winner and thus discard the votes of their own people in their state.
Bottom line: the state legislators decide and you have NO Constitutional Right to vote for President.

really...? name those states...?
“The states select Electoral Collage electors via the method approved by their state legislators.”
And signed into law by the governor!
True, libertylover.
And, thus, my plan...
The EC is enumerated by the number House members (435), Senators (100), and three for DC. That totals 538; half of which is 269, which sets the majority number at 270.
That should remain the enumeration until the numbers of any of the three components change.
The EC Vote that represents a HOUSE District should go to the candidate who wins the popular vote IN THAT DISTRICT.
The EC Votes that represent the SENATE seats should go the candidate who wins the popular vote IN THAT STATE.
And, lastly, the three EC Votes that fall to DC should go to the candidate who wins the popular vote in DC.
The prospective addition of PR and DC as States could incorporate the same model.
This puts and keeps importance on EVERY VOTE.
