I’m sure Shyster will pretend there’s a good reason for it other than admitting that it’s an antiquated restriction that should be amendedHow many know that, constitutionally, the Presidential candidate and the Vice Presidential candidate cannot be from the same state?
How stupid is that? Just another reason to scrap this bloody US Constitution and make a new one.
edit: ok after a quick google, it seems like the restriction is that if the Pres and VP are from the same state, they can’t receive electorate votes from that state. So it’s not as restrictive as I first thought
but also apparently Cheney changed his “home state” so that he and Bush could receive electorate votes from Texas
