SCOTUS said there is no "right to vote," in Bush v. Gore:

The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the Electoral College.

That’s correct. Each state gets presidential electors. How those electors cast their vote is up to the state to decide.
