How many states don't have laws prohibiting faithless electors? I can't find a site that has a clear answer.

Read and count.
As this site correctly states, The US constitution predominates in this matter, and most legal folks hold that the state laws are unconstitutional, and if ever taken to federal court, would be found in violation of the US constitution. No one, nor any governmental body, can dictate how an elector votes in the electoral college.
To find the number of states that do not have laws prohibiting faithless electors, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by researching the concept of faithless electors. They are members of the Electoral College who vote contrary to the popular vote in their state during a presidential election.
2. Look for reliable sources that provide information on the current status of state laws regarding faithless electors. Some credible sources to consider are official government websites, nonprofit organizations focusing on constitutional law, or reputable news outlets that regularly cover election-related topics.
3. Check for recent developments or changes in state laws. It's important to note that laws can change over time, so make sure you find the most up-to-date information.
4. Compile a list of states that have laws specifically prohibiting faithless electors and those that do not.
5. Finally, determine the number of states that do not have laws prohibiting faithless electors by subtracting the number of states with laws from the total number of states in the United States.
Remember to critically analyze the sources you find to ensure they are reputable and provide reliable information.
