As far as the Constitution is concerned, no one votes for President on Election Day, rather the State Legislatures have chosen to allow them to vote for Electors. If for some strange reason, all 538 Electors nominate different people, then it would be a wide open race in the Congress with the House having 538 choices for President and the Senate having 538 choices for Vice President.

Isn't it limited to only the top three?

In California, write-in votes are discarded unless a candidate registers as a write-in candidate.  Is it like that in other states?  Because if so, no write-in votes would be counted.
