Report: Cheney Did Not Vote in 14 of 16 Elections

DALLAS (Reuters) - Republican vice presidential candidate Dick
Cheney failed to vote in 14 of 16 elections since moving to Texas
in 1995, including the March primary in which he could have cast
a ballot for his future running mate, George W. Bush, the Dallas
Morning News reported on Friday.
The newspaper said Cheney's 2-for-16 voting history in mainly
state and local elections compares with a five-for-six rate of
election participation over the same period for his Democratic
rival for the vice presidency, Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.
Cheney, campaigning on Thursday in Maine, declined requests for
an interview about his voting record, the Morning News said.
Cheney spokesman Dirk Vande Beek said, ``He does think that
voting is important. He did it whenever he could.''
Dallas County records show that Cheney registered to vote in
Texas in December 1995 after moving to the wealthy Dallas enclave
of Highland Park from the Washington, D.C., area. He moved to
Texas as the new chief executive officer of oilfield service
company Halliburton Co.
The records show Cheney voted in the November 1996 presidential
election and the November 1998 race for Texas governor and other
state and local offices.
The 14 elections Cheney skipped in Dallas County included the
1996 presidential and state primaries, primary runoffs and
Highland Park city elections, and the 1999 primary and primary
runoffs.
To avoid a constitutional conflict with running mates from the
same state, Cheney changed his voter registration to his home in
Wyoming in July, days before being tapped as Bush's running mate.
He voted in the subsequent Republican presidential primary there.
The newspaper said records in New Haven, Connecticut, show that
Lieberman voted in all but one of six elections there since
December 1995, missing a November 1997 mayoral contest. Records
were not available before 1995.
Voter logs in Austin and Dallas show that since 1988, Bush has
voted in 38 of 39 elections, missing only the 1992 primary. Gore
has not missed any of the 16 elections since 1972 in his hometown
of Carthage, Tennessee, the newspaper said.
