re: #404 Lidane

They don’t *have* to be from different states, but it’s believed to help electorally since you’d theoretically get support from both states and regional voters in those areas.

I think there is something about the Prez and VP needing to be from different states.

In 2000 Cheney had been living in Texas (Halliburton) but returned to his home state of Wyoming to register to vote there to re-establish residency there so he could pick himself as VP (Cheney had headed W Bush’s VP search team).
