There will never be a President - Vice President team from the same state unless the get rid of an arcane Electoral College rule.

"The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves."

So if you have a team from the same state, they can not get the Electoral College votes from their home state. Might not make that much of a difference if you are from, say, Wyoming, but why you you spot your opponents even 3 votes out of 538?
