No.  You can not stop the election from being held or the office from
being filled.  But voting for one candidate or the other does not help
you in anyway.  You vote is not going to change the outcome, nor is
the outcome really crucial.  By not voting you are sending a stronger
(although still weak) message for what is right than a vote for either
of the bad candidates.
