VOTE LEAVES COULTER DANGLING LIKE A CHAD
Tart-tongued GOP columnist Ann Coulter's election day meltdown will be investigated after all.
Supervisor of Elections Arthur Anderson said on Friday that Coulter's voting in the wrong precinct this month in a Palm Beach Town Council election was an isolated incident, one that will be referred to State Attorney Barry Krischer. When that happens, Democrat Krischer, who didn't return calls for comment, will be investigating two White House cheerleaders based on The Island. The other one is radio talker Rush Limbaugh, subject of a doctor-shopping probe.
On Feb. 7, Coulter tried to cast her ballot at the precinct closest to her homesteaded Seabreeze home. But because elections records showed she was registered at the Indian Road home of her Realtor, 4 miles north, she was asked to file a change of address. According to pollworker Jim Whited, she dashed out without the form. Records show she did vote at the Indian Road precinct, and that could be a felony.
Whited, a Republican, said he didn't file an incident report because he didn't think Coulter's action warranted it. But Anderson, a Democrat, said Friday his office wants to interview Whited — who accused Coulter of committing a felony on radio talker Dick Farrel's show on WPBR-AM 1340. Early last week, an elections official told Page Two that nothing would happen to Coulter unless someone filed a complaint with the office. That had not occurred as of Friday, so Anderson said, "I can assume the prerogative personally to make certain that this matter is followed up."

Florida statutes make it a third-degree felony to vote knowingly in the wrong precinct.
Lying on a voter's registration can cost up to $5,000 and five years behind bars.Apparently, Coulter is using her realtor's address on her voter's registration to conceal the address of her $1.8 million dollar crib.
Interesting side note:
In her book
Slander, Coulter describes liberals thusly:
"Secure in the knowledge that their beachfront haciendas will still be standing when the smoke clears, they giddily fiddle with the little people's rules and morals."
Wait a minute, doesn't Ann Coulter live in a oceanside hacienda in Palm Beach? Looks like she is the one living in a seaside hacienda giddily fiddlin' with the little people's rules (otherwise known as Florida statutes.)
Coulter, a Palm Beach County resident, would have us believe she was too confused to vote properly in Palm Beach County. Just like those hapless confused democrats with their butterfly ballots she ridiculed?
Didn't Coulter declare herself an expert on Florida elections after the November 2000 debacle? She praised then-Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, who was, in Coulter's view, ridiculed by democrats because she insisted on following Florida election laws to the letter.
"Obsessive rule-followers are the bane of Democrats' existence," Coulter wrote in defending Harris.
