"The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States."The first time I ever heard of "early voting" that came to my mind. Early voting is clearly unconstitutional, and should have been challenged in federal court the first time a state did it. The constitution clearly states that election day is to be on the same day throughout the country. Only the most liberal of judges could see it any other way.

The Constitution does not grant individual citizens the right to vote for President at all. The constitution specifies the Electors, which were originally appointed by State Legislators. They are talking strictly about the Electoral College. States are really not required by the Constitution to even hold popular elections for President, but it has evolved that way through practice. There is also no Constitutional requirement that the Electors have to follow their States desires when they meet to cast their vote. It is possible that and appointed Elector could cast his or her vote for either candidate, but I've never heard that has ever happened.
