Talk:2016 United States presidential election (GOP domination)

President and VP from same state?
Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio both being from Florida. It's not supposed to be allowed. According to the Twelfth Amendment of the US Constitution, "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves".

The technically could go ahead and do this, but they would make their lives really complicated because the Florida electoral college delegation would bot be allowed to vote. It's unlikely. Too much of a risk for a party to take in a close election, and lack appeal to the rest of the country. Jakeepping (talk) 12:13, January 20, 2013 (UTC)jakeepping
