What, like suddenly there is a rule or something that matters? And this one isn't actually applicable, it having been somewhat mooted by the 12th amendment. It still kind of exists. In principle, if Trump and DeSantis are both from Florida, the Florida electors could only vote for one of them, not both. Of course it wouldn't matter because this is America now.
There are also rules against doing things like overthrowing the government, but those don't count any more either.
I was mistaken. Apparently an EC elector cannot vote for both if they are from the elector's own state. No prohibition on both from the same state otherwise.
I don't think DeSantis can be Trump's VP. I might be wrong but I believe the President and the VP cannot be from the same state.

That would actually put Florida out of the EC math.
All Trump has to do, though, is "temporarily" move back to New York. Problem solved. :/
Or their electors could vote for him and someone other than DeSantis as VP. Then Trump could wind up with a Democratic VP. That would be fun.
