Cheney's Residency Challenged -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A.P. INDEXES: TOP STORIES \| NEWS \| SPORTS \| BUSINESS \| TECHNOLOGY \| ENTERTAINMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 7:13 p.m. ET DALLAS (AP) -- 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. The lawsuit was filed hours after a similar lawsuit was dismissed in Florida. The suit filed Monday claims Cheney is a Texas resident and that he and Bush, therefore, shouldn't be awarded the state's 32 electoral votes. The lawsuit cites the 12th Amendment, which prohibits the Texas members of the Electoral College from voting for both a president and vice president who are ``inhabitants'' of their state. ``Someone cannot be a resident of two states simultaneously,'' said Bill Berenson, the Fort Worth attorney representing three Dallas County residents who are suing Bush and Cheney. ``If Mr. Cheney wanted to run for political office in Wyoming he would be prohibited from doing so. Some of Wyoming's statutes state that.'' Cheney lived in Dallas while he was chairman of Halliburton Co. until he changed his voting registration to Teton County, Wyo., on July 21 -- four days before becoming Bush's running mate. Cheney or his wife has owned a home in Dallas since 1993. The former Wyoming congressman and defense secretary under President Bush also has homes in Jackson, Wyo., and McLean, Va. Last week, he put his Highland Park home on the market for $3.1 million, Berenson said. ``He had always intended to put his home on the market after the election,'' Cheney spokeswoman Juleanna Glover Weiss said. Weiss said they have returned to Wyoming, where they have had a house for the last 25 years. ``Assertions otherwise are just nonsense,'' she said. ``The lawsuits that have been filed are frivolous and clearly one already has been dismissed out of hand.'' A lawsuit filed last week in Florida making similar claims about Cheney was dismissed on Monday. Berenson said the Dallas County lawsuit was filed because the merit of the basic claim must be sought by residents in the county where Cheney resides. 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. Weiss said Cheney's 1999 federal income tax returns were filed before he was nominated for vice president. The plaintiffs are Stephen E. Jones, a Texas Wesleyan University law student, Linda D. Lydia and Caroline Franco. It names Bush, Cheney, Texas Secretary of State Elton Bomer and the 32 Texas electors as defendants. The case has been assigned to Judge Sidney Fitzwater, a Republican appointed by former President Reagan. No date for a hearing had been set.
