When W ran in 2000 he was living in Houston and Dick Cheney was living in and had lived on Dallas for a number of years. He paid taxes and was registered to vote in Texas.

Someyfiled suite under that section of the US Const which states that an elector can only vote for one person from his/her state. As I recall the judge ruled that the plaintiff lacked standing in that no harm had occurred YET.

This suite was not refiled after the elections as I recall
