Cheney Didn't Vote in Most Local Texas Elections, Magazine Says 10/26/00 5:02:00 PM Source: Bloomberg News Washington, Oct. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Republican Vice Presidential candidate Dick Cheney, former chief executive of Dallas-based Halliburton Co., didn't vote in most local elections during the five years he lived in Texas, Business Week reported. Cheney voted in federal elections and skipped 14 out of 16 local elections, the magazine said. Other chief executives, such as AT&T Corp.'s C. Michael Armstrong, EBay Inc.'s Meg Whitman and Yahoo! Inc.'s Tim Koogle, aren't registered to vote, the magazine said, citing a study it commissioned that tracked the voting histories of 100 chief executives. Oracle Corp. Chief Executive Lawrence Ellison and Nabisco Group Holdings Corp. Chairman Steven Goldstone are registered to vote but don't, Business Week said. After inquiries were made, EchoStar Communications Corp. Chief Executive Charles Ergen registered on Oct. 10 and UAL Corp. Chief Executive James Goodwin updated his registration on Oct. 18, the magazine said. Some chief executives vote in every federal, state and local election, including Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s Warren Buffett, Southwest Airlines Co.'s Herbert Kelleher and Caterpillar Inc.'s Glen Barton, Business Week said.
