I think you are correct. Kristi Noem checks most boxes except diverse and swing state.

Kristi Noem checks most boxes except diverse and swing state.

The state the VP pick is from has meant next to nothing for some time. Gore couldn't even deliver Tennessee at the TOP of the ticket. Look at the list of VPs since 2000. All came from states that would have gone the same way, with the possible (but unlikely) exception of Tim Kaine (VA):
Kamala Harris, CA
Mike Pence, IN
Tim Kaine, VA
Paul Ryan, WI
Joe Biden, DE
Sarah Palin, AK
Dick Cheney, WY
John Edwards, NC
Joe Lieberman, CT
