Parrotguy is right about there being a problem of having a Presidential/Vice-Presidential ticket with both nominees from the same state. Constitutionally, the Minnesota Electors cannot vote for both Franken and Ellison. Hypothetically, all of the other states could vote for a Franken/Ellison ticket, and thus it may still be possible to win the Electoral College even if the ten Electors voted just for Franken, and cast their ballots for VPOTUS for someone else who doesn't live in Minnesota. But it would be easier and simpler to elect Franken if the Democrats nominate a Vice-Presidential candidate who lives in a different state.
