Jones v. Bush, 122 F. Supp 2d. 713 It has to do with the Habitation Clause. "No elector may cast votes for Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates who both inhabit the same state as that elector (Habitation Clause)." It took place during the 2000 election when several Texans didn't want the state's votes to go to Bush, and they realized that both Bush and Cheney lived in Texas.

Harriet Myers successfully argued this case in District Court; it was not appealed.
