From Dallas Morning News:

State Republican Chairman Steve Munisteri says House Democratic leader Jim Dunnam “has actively deceived the voters” of Central Texas about where he lives. State GOP spokesman Bryan Preston goes further, saying Dunnam “has made himself ineligible” by living outside his district for the past eight years.

Dunnam, though, says Republicans are beating a dead horse. He says although he maintains two houses — to keep kids in schools he says the GOP tried to rip his family from, in a remap after the 2000 census — he has been and still is a legal candidate. And he insists he’s more than happy to take the matter to the voters on Nov. 2.

Munisteri raised it at a press conference today in Waco. He insisted that Dunnam doesn’t live in District 57, the district he’s represented since 1996, but in the adjoining district of Rep. Doc Anderson, R-Waco, or District 56. The latter lies entirely within McLennan County. Since the 2001 redistricting, Dunnam’s District 57 has rambled from part of Waco across three other rural counties to Madisonville.
