The campaign:
The Payeur brothers, Micah and Joshua, ran as a Presidential write-in ticket in Minnesota in 2016. Their campaign was a very stealth, under-the-radar affair. In the event of their victory the fact they were (apparently) residents of the same state would have proven problematic per the Constitution.
Other brother tickets have included: Larry Brant Sargeant/Perry David Sargeant - American Freedom Party (1976), Lowell Jackson Fellure/James Monroe Fellure - Independent (2000), Diddley Squat V/Bupkes - Hamster Party (2004), Keith Russell Judd/Monty Wayne Judd - Nonpartisan (2008), Randal Gene Trackwell/Byron Lee Trackwell - Bullmoose Progressive Party (2008), Theodore Cleaver/Wallace Cleaver - Give America the Business Party (2008), Diddley Squat/Squit Squat - Hamster Party (2012), Robert John Burck/Kenneth Robert Burck Jr. - Tea Party (2012), Richard Skeen McCormick/Stephen Albert McCormick - KIS Party (2012), Jerry D. Litzel/Jim J. Litzel (twins) - Independent (2012), Kevin M. Thorne/Colin Henry Thorne (twins) - Independent (2012), Daniel Edward Olkowski/Michael Shawn Olkowski - Independent (2016).
