DALLAS - Three Texas voters have sued to block Gov. George W. Bush's
election as president by challenging running mate Dick Cheney's status
as a Wyoming resident. 

<snip>

The suit claims that Cheney holds a Texas driver's license listing his
Highland Park address and that, on Feb. 22, he changed his personal
records at the Texas Department of Public Safety and again listed the
Dallas address.

It also claims Cheney's vehicles are registered in Texas, that he paid
taxes on them in Dallas County, that he has filed federal income tax
returns listing himself as a Texas resident and that he has lived in
the Highland Park home for the last five years.

Which I agree is a crock of $|-|it, but at least she was apparantly
smart enough to fully change her address months in advance. If not,
throw her shrewish behind out! I have ABSOLUTELY no objections!

On the other hand, if Cheney still has a Texas driver's license, Texas
registraion on his vehicles, and a dresser full of socks and underwear
in his Texas house, then he is a resident of Texas. And, according to
the Constitution, then the Texas electors cannot vote for him and
Bush.

It may end up being a moot point if Cheney withdraws and a different
Veep is nominated.
