Rove won't be prosecuted on Texas voting

Associated Press

KERRVILLE, Texas - A Texas county official said Thursday he would not prosecute presidential adviser Karl Rove after investigating whether he voted illegally in the state.

Kerr County Attorney Rex Emerson said he made the decision after reviewing a report from the county sheriff, who examined documents from Texas, Washington, D.C., and Florida and interviewed several witnesses.

"The facts indicate that Mr. and Mrs. Rove are Texans living in Washington D.C. during Mr. Rove's service to the federal government," Emerson said in a statement.

Emerson said there was no evidence of dual voting or falsified applications with Rove, White House deputy chief of staff, and his wife Darby.

3. Isn't it illegal for the prez and veep to be from the same state?

I thought he was registered in Wyoming.

5. This is Rove, not Cheney. Cheney is registered in Wy, yes. -eom

6. Cheney is registered in WY.

But if I remember right, he changed his registration at the last minute. And he takes a homestead exemption for his home in Texas. So either he wasn't eligible to be VP, or he committed tax fraud.
