Can you vote for electors? Capital hill?

I vote Jed Bartlett and Charlie sheen as vice.
A slice of Americana:

For President and Vice President:

1. Clinton & Kaine
2. Johnson & ??? (libertarian)
3. Stein & ?? (green)
4. Trump & Pence
5. _______ (Write in)

Candidates were listed alphabetically by pres. candidate's last name.

Yes, you can elect to vote for no one as well.

Technically my vote is for an elector from my state who will cast his or her vote at the electoral college later in the year. My state has a winner-take-all system for presidential electors -- whoever gets the largest popular vote gets all the state's electoral college votes. In this case, it doesn't really matter. We're small enough that no one cares and no candidates campaign here, and predetermined enough that . . . well . . . no one cares. But I voted anyway!

Also up were one of my state's 2 US Senators -- another foregone conclusion, and our district's US Representative (to the House of Reps) -- a much closer race. Also a representative and senator to our state legislature. Those seats are more up for grabs. Our seat on the state board of education is also up for grabs, a position with little power but important in not making us look like a bunch of countrified dumb-asses.

Some state judges were up for "retention" -- you can vote to keep them or not. Surprising amount of politics in some of those positions this year -- they haven't been having enough executions for some voters' tastes.

Lastly, a state constitutional amendment regarding -- of all things -- hunting and fishing.
