I don't think the Constitution specifies the manner of selecting the electors at all.
Yep. This is one of the decisions the Constitution punts to the states, so there's nothing to stop, say, Wyoming from choosing her electors by a vote of the legislature - or by a coin toss, pie-eating contest, or any other absurdly undemocratic system they should concoct. But that's okay, because AMERICA IS A REPUBLIC NOT A DEMOCRACY!!!1!!11!
