But Benjamin Harrison was an elected senator from Indiana, therefore, Indiana is his home state.

He was born in Ohio. Therefore Ohio is home.  Remember Cleveland did win Indiana at least once if not twice in his three runs. Yes I know he was appointed as a senator by our statehouse but I go by birthplace.

If we're going by birthplace, then Reagan is R-IL, the elder Bush is R-MA, Romney is R-MI, and McCain is R-CZ.
