I think that the constitution bars having the presidential and vice presidential candidates from the same state. Cheney slipped through because he has his official residence in Jackson Hole Wyoming.

Cheney switched his residency from Texas back to Wyoming while living in Dallas. The sitting Texas Governor can’t pull that stunt.

Both running mates can be from the same state but that state’s electoral votes are sacrificed in the process. Too steep of a penalty for anyone to try it.

For a very good reason - it’s not there.
