And Noem probably shot another puppy with that news release.
Yes, residents of the same state can be on the ticket for President and Vice President of the United States, but there are some important considerations due to the Electoral College.
The relevant rule is from the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states that the electors in each state must cast separate ballots for President and Vice President and that "the electors shall vote by ballot for President and Vice President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves." This means that if both the presidential and vice-presidential candidates are from the same state, the electors of that state can only cast their electoral votes for one of them, not both.
Here's a practical implication: if a presidential candidate and their running mate are both residents of the same state, the electors from that state cannot cast both of their votes for them. This rule is designed to prevent a state from having undue influence by being able to cast both its electoral votes for two people from the same state.
For example, in the 2000 election, Dick Cheney changed his residency from Texas to Wyoming to avoid this issue because George W. Bush was also from Texas. This ensured that Texas electors could vote for both the President and the Vice President from the same ticket.
Therefore, while it is legally possible for presidential and vice-presidential candidates to be from the same state, it can create a strategic disadvantage in the electoral process, potentially costing electoral votes from that state .

Imagine kissing Convicted Felon Donald J Trump's ass for nine years and not making his short list, his long list, or any other list.
I still think she's waiting for Grassley to drop dead and appoint herself.
But Florida being a pretty important state for them, I would have to imagine that one of them would have to move.
