I think it means that an elector cannot vote for TWO people from the same state as the elector. If this happens, such an elector could vote for only one of the 2. Losing electoral votes in this manner can be important in tight elections. Could have been decisive, according to the article I posted, in the year 2000. Luckily, Chaney changed his residence from Texas back to Wyoming prior to the elections. Probably, following legal advice. So, having both candidates from the same state creates potential problems for the ticket.
