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.

1. Couldn't happen to a nicer gal.

If found guilty, I can think of some community service she should do instead of jail time.

[Hardrada]

4. Cleaning rest rooms at interstate rest stops

Picking up garbàge by the roadside!

[LuCifer]

11. I say she should clean toliets...

...with her tongue.

[Canuckistanian]

33. That would make them dirtier

She should be sent to enforce an anti-smoking ban in a biker clubhouse.

[bunkerbuster1]

13. How about *really* "supporting the troops?"

Especially the "battle-ready" Iraqi security forces?

(If you know what I mean, and I think you do.)

[CrazyOrangeCat]

2. She is certifiably insane. Rabid.

I still can't believe that she gets paid anything by anybody.

[rkc3]

3. Don't terrorists do things like this? Like lying on your registration

form and getting phony driver's/pilot's licenses.

[Rocknrule]

7. Yea, but remember, white Republicans are never terrorists

Just ask Timothy McVeigh

[northzax]

14. see, she was trying to prove

how crooked the elections system is, it was all a sting.

or that will be the spin in the morning.

[greenbriar]

5. so did she vote or try to vote twice? Records show she voted in Indian ro

prec.

[El Fuego]

6. She has her realtor's address on her voter's registration

She voted once, but she delibrately voted in the wrong precinct. She did it to try to keep her home address a secret.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Finally, some good news!

[ooglymoogly]

9. can someone in fl. dash over to the office and file a complaint

please. it would make things a lot easyer for anderson to make this stick.

[El Fuego]

10. I was seriously thinking about it.

If that's what it takes, I will volunteer.

[ooglymoogly]

28. please please please

kick kick and write it up here and we'll send you to the greatest page

[ronnykmarshall]

12. Let's see her spin this one.

I'd love to see that cow thrown in jail.

[AndyA]

15. Bitch - may she rot in hell and may the rats pick her bones clean!

I don't normally feel this way about other human beings, but she doesn't qualify as human in my book. She's evil. She's made so many inappropriate comments about others, and the "conservative Christian Republicans" :eyes: :puke: just let her get away with it.

I'm sick of the hypocrisy, and I'm tired of the double standards. The "do as I say, not as I do" crowd needs to PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH!

Scrubbing public rest rooms is too good for her - those are honest jobs. She deserves something more horrid.

[ArbustoBuster]

16. As a convicted felon she could no longer vote.

This problem basically solves itself. :D

[Mabus]

21. Jeb can restore her right to vote

per Florida law.

Then there is the issue of the felon list. Florida is one of only seven states that does not automatically restore a felon's voting rights after his or her release from prison (another of the ignored recommendations made by the commission Jeb Bush created). More than 52 percent of Florida's felon population happens to be African-American, a demographic that voted Democratic in 2000 in unprecedented numbers. No matter whether one's crime has been marijuana possession, check bouncing, or DUIs, anyone who has been convicted of a felony must endure an arduous obstacle course in order to have their voting rights restored. Most will have to face the state's clemency board chaired by Gov. Bush and two other Republican officials. There is no appeal process. One veteran official with Florida's Corrections Department, who asked for anonymity, noted that, "We have the president's brother deciding whether people get to vote or not vote, which strikes me as a conflict of interest."
Hoodwinked: Why is Florida's voting system so corrupt?

I think, if anything happens, she'll have her voting rights restored by the next election.

17. kick

:kick:

[bear425]

18. Oh please, El Fuego, please file a complaint!

I'm so tired of these windbags who feel they're above the law! K&R and thanks for posting.

[Gabi Hayes]

22. perpetual kick

[El Fuego]

36. I am going to call Anderson's office

Hi bear425! :hi:

(We need to have another big SF meetup!)

[Brewman_Jax]

19. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving individual

Coulter having to obey the laws like everyone else. Rules aren't just for liberals and democrats, Ann!

hell for freepers: having to live under the rules that they'd have for everyone else.

[cascadiance]

20. She needs to share a cell with Katherine Harris...

... after Harris is also nailed for MZM bribery too... Then they'll both be able to talk about their various "operations" (pun INTENDED!)

I guess we have to get someone decent to replace Jeb in office though so that they both don't get pardoned!

[Pacifist Patriot]

23. Amen!

[berni_mccoy]

25. And Rush will make a nice Threesome for them!

Plus he can supply the oxycontin.

:rofl:

[4_TN_TITANS]

24. OMG - I can actually agree with a Coulter statement?????

"Obsessive rule-followers are the bane of Democrats' existence," Coulter wrote in defending Harris.

This is me in a nutshell...

[Disturbed]

26. No charges will be issued.

This is a non-issue.

[Yuugal]

27. Blah

::puts on flame retardant underoos::

Much as I detest the things that spew from her vile piehole, I'm ok with what she did. The right to vote is all we have to stop what has been going on. As long as she voted in the place she was registered and only voted once then I don't really see a problem. Isn't that what we are fighting for? So that the poor, who can sometimes be forced to move a lot, can still get their vote counted? I feel like we are being tricked into supporting something we would never support otherwise. Namely, giving someone a hard time about casting their vote.

Besides, who gives a flying fuck what Mann Coulter is doing?

[RandiFan1290]

31. I live in Palm Beach County

I am not allowed to keep my address a secret and vote in another precinct. Here is the key paragraph from the story:

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.

So, she left her proper polling place and voted in another in order to keep her address a secret. That is against the law. She should be charged.

29. I hope they push this as far as it will go!

Lock her up and throw away the key! I say good riddance!!!

[Hardrada]

34. Throw the key into a cesspool or vaporize it with a phaser!!

It makes you wish we had Siberian Gulags for people like her. Can we rent one from the Russkies?

[edbermac]

30. Only a $5000 fine?? I was hoping for the chair...

Sorry, but Annie brings out the worst in people...

[El Fuego]

32. "She who lives by the sword, dies by the sword."

[lovuian]

35. ROFL

:rofl: Her excuse a Blonde moment!!!
