In July, shortly before being named as Bush's running mate, Cheney
changed his
voter's registration from Texas to Wyoming where he was raised,
served as a
U.S. Congressman, and still owns a home. However, one of the
requirements for
Voter Registration in Wyoming is that the registrant "Be an actual
and
physically bona fide resident of Wyoming" living in the state for
one year
before becoming a resident.

Is a hasty change in voter registration sufficient to satisfy the
spirit and
letter of the law? Does being registered to vote in Wyoming mean
that Cheney is
no longer a Texas resident and more important, could it change the
election
outcome?

Interesting side note: According to a news report in the November
22, 2000
Austin American-Statesman, Cheney claimed the homestead tax
exemption on his
Dallas home (put up for sale just this month) which is only allowed
on property
the owner considers their main home. So, did he simply consider it
his main
home for tax purposes but not for Presidential electoral vote
purposes?
