They can be from the same state, but only one of them can win the electoral votes from that state, so in practice it never happens that two people from the same state are nominated. I could be wrong about that. It’s too late to look things up.

What would then look like, if the P. and V.P. both came from the same state? How would, e.g., the SINGLE Electoral vote of Wyoming be "split?" How would that then affect the final total?

538 Electoral votes - 270 to win. WY gives it single vote to Trump (assuming he was an inhabitant of WY) - but not to Pence. How would that then tally?

Thanks and regards,
