"The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves."

What happens if one or both of the candidates is not from a state, like Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico?

Also, in the original Constitution, no one voted for vice-president.

Only presidential candidates received votes.

The vice president was automatically the presidential candidate who got the second highest number of electoral votes.
