It applies only to the state that has both candidates hailing from that state. But the provision itself, is relevant to any of the 50 states where the two candidates hail from that state.

If Ohio is where both candidates hail from, then the provision applies only to Ohio.

If Va. is where both candidates hail from, then the provision applies only to Va.

And so on.

I assume that the way it works, is for example a state has 30 electors, but because they can only cast votes for one of the candidates, that number would be reduced to 15? Not really sure, because they do not get into how that works, at least what I read. They only state that the electors can only vote for one candidate.
