| Coulter Facing Felony Charges in Florida | |
| 2006-06-08 | |
| Conservative pundit Ann Coulter is clear on where she stands on politics. But where she votes is another matter. Election officials in Palm Beach County, Fla., are reportedly investigating why Coulter voted in the wrong precinct in a local election in February - even though a poll worker tried to stop her. Knowingly voting in the wrong precinct is a felony in Florida, and Coulter has hired a former U.S. attorney to defend her there. Coulter registered to vote at her Realtor's address when she bought a $1.8 million Palm Beach home last year. But instead of filing a change of address as a poll worker told her to do, she went ahead and voted in the wrong precinct, the Palm Beach Post reported. Coulter denied knowingly voting in the wrong district in a Fox News Channel interview Tuesday night, and said she actually lives in New York. She said the reporters who wrote about the case are "all retarded" and accused Palm Beach officials of having a sexually transmitted disease. She's always such a class act....
Meanwhile, Coulter is also registered to vote in New Canaan, Conn. - though the local registrar told the Daily News yesterday it's illegal to be registered in two places at once. Coulter cast an absentee ballot in New Canaan in the 2004 election. She also owns a $1.5 million condo on Manhattan's East Side but has never registered to vote there. | |

| #13 Pure BS. Wake me when you have a DA saying he is going to indict. All this is a handjob for the LLL m0ob@+5. |

| #12 If she did it, she's wrong. Did what? Failed to de-register in one location after she moved to another? Who cares? I have never de-registered when leaving a state. Who does? Now if she tried to vote in both locations, that's a horse of a different color. |

| #8 Ann is very smart if provocative. She has a book out this week and suddenly folks are talking Felony charges. I'm pretty sure Coulter kept her nose clean and this is all part of the media campaign (although I'm not sure the election officials are in on it or just predictable). |

| #7 From the New York Daily News: Some 46,000 New Yorkers are registered to vote in both the city and Florida, a shocking finding that exposes both states to potential abuses that could alter the outcome of elections, a Daily News investigation shows. Registering in two places is illegal in both states, but the massive snowbird scandal goes undetected because election officials don't check rolls across state lines. [Unless, of course, you're Ann Coulter.] ... The News' investigation also found: # Of the 46,000 registered in both states, 68% are Democrats, 12% are Republicans and 16% didn't claim a party. # Nearly 1,700 of those registered in both states requested that absentee ballots be mailed to their home in the other state, where they are also registered. But that doesn't raise red flags with officials in either place. Efforts to prevent people from registering and voting in more than one state rely mostly on the honor system. [Unless, of course, your a blue blood Democrat who wants to shut up some pesky non-true believer. Dem Akbar, Akbar Dem.] If she did it, she's wrong. However, I expect that the same enforcement will be directed against the majority of similar violators of the law. |

| #4 I she was dead or a felon, and voted Democrat, she could have voted anywhere. If she was an illegal immigrant, she coulda helped in San Diego. |

| #3 One of few who tell it like it is...unvarnished, and unapologetic. Although she sometimes goes a little over the top with the personal stuff, I wish there were more like her. F the dems in Florida Ann. We all know this is totally politically motivated. They even coordinated the release to correspond with the MSM "coulter the cruel" smear and your new book. Too obvious. |
