Did Ann Coulter Vote Illegally?

[ck4829]

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter has refused to cooperate in an investigation about whether she voted in the wrong precinct, so the case will likely be turned over to state prosecutors, Palm Beach County's elections chief said Wednesday.

Elections Supervisor Arthur Anderson said his office has been looking into the matter for nearly nine months, and he would turn over the case to the state attorney's office by Friday.

Coulter's attorney did not immediately return a telephone message Wednesday and her telephone number in Palm Beach is unpublished. A message left for Tara Gilbride, a publicist for Coulter's publisher, The Crown Publishing Group, owned by Random House Inc., was also not immediately returned.

Anderson's office received a complaint in February that Coulter allegedly voted in the wrong precinct during a Feb. 7 Palm Beach town council election. Since then, Anderson said he has made repeated attempts to resolve the matter with Coulter and her attorney but has been rebuffed.

1. Yes

Only humans are allowed to vote.

2. If she's not guilty, why would she refuse to cooperate? nt

4. Because this is just made up stuff by evil liberal activist prosecutors

who don't want to accept the fact that "conservatives" can do whatever they want to do.

5. To make herself out to be a victim,

thus assuring her of more blather on the Right Wing Noise Machine--and conveniently obscuring the Diebold, etc. mess.

3. I find this hard to believe

She is such a god loving supporter of constitutional rights and the law of the land. Surely there must be a mistake. No way that a skanky, coke snorting, disgusting, loveless, hermaphrodite will jeopardize the voting integrity of her hometown, no way. After all she is a "conservative."

6. From what I read when this story broke

...yes, she did vote illegally, and knowing full well it was illegal too.

The way she goes after "treasonous liberals" you'd think she'd be more circumspect about obeying the law herself. She deserves to be made an example of, big time.

7. It has been well-documented that she gave a false address in her voter reg

... using the address of her real estate broker.

Then she floated the idea that she was in fact trying to avoid a stalker as the reason for the false statement she made under oath in signing a voter registration form. Not an acceptable reason for lying.

Her dilemma is either she intentionally voted in the wrong district after being warned in advance it was not her voting district, or she took a tax homestead exemption on her tax return which she was not entitled to claim, and signed her tax return affirming everything in the return was true.

It is one or the other. No wiggle room. That is why this has not been resolved.

I believe it was the bradblog.com that had this all staked out months ago.

And now they are going to take action against her AFTER the midterm elections? Tells you all you need to know about law enforcement special treatment there, right?

8. I was wondering what happened to this story.

Good to see they're moving ahead with it.

9. I'm pretty sure that Democrats would be smart to...

We shouldn't stop with Coulter.

I'm pretty sure that Democrats would be smart to run a massive
project that compares voting records in many parts of Florida
with voting records in other "snowbird" states. I'll bet you'd
find massive "irregularities" and a lot of them would fall over
onto the Republican side of the table.

What I mean by this is I am convinced you'd find that a lot
of older( say) NH Republicans just happen to vote in both NH
and Florida, probably one by absentee and one in person.
