WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 1) - Conservative columnist Ann Coulter has refused to cooperate in an investigation into whether she voted in the wrong precinct, so the case will probably be turned over to 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 call Wednesday. Nor did her publicist at her publisher, Crown Publishing.

Knowingly voting in the wrong precinct is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

1. I have to wonder, if she knowingly voted in the wrong precinct

if she maybe ALSO voted in the correct one.

Vote early, vote often.

[Ellis Wyatt]

2. Didn't this happen to Michael Moore?

I though he had something similar happen to him a few years back. He was registered in a few different states I think. Did anything ever come out of it?

[Trajan]

5. This could easily happen ....

if you move around a bit : You dont call to cancel registration ...

The key word here is 'knowingly' ....

Did Michael Moore vote in a precinct knowing it was NOT the precinct in which he resided ? ....

This is a DIFFERENT question than : "Did Ann Coulter vote in a precinct knowing it was NOT the precinct in which she resided ?" ....

6. Who cares, let's go back twenty years and see if anyone else

ever did this in their lifetime. Then, we can give Ann a pass because at sometime in the past somebody else did it. This is typical repuke logic. Hitler gassed Jews too should we let the bushes do it? Mommy, the kid next door did it, why can't I.

[Tempest]

8. No, it didn't

Next time have some facts available before you begin the character assassination.

11. No

A lot of people are registered in two ore more states because they move, re-register in their new state, and the old state of residence is slow to get around purging them from the rolls. That is not a crime. Actually voting in two states, though, is a felony.

[Ellis Wyatt]

17. thank you

for answering my simple question.

[angstlessk]

12. Would that be Ellis, Wyatt as in the bush family Ellis's?

You know, John Ellis who worked for Faux and called the election for bush before ANY other channel? that Ellis family?

[Ellis Wyatt]

18. are you

seriously that paranoid?

[NorthernSpy]

15. nice try, but no -- not even close...

Moore registered to vote in Michigan before New York had gotten around to cancelling his old voter registration. Moore did NOT try to vote in a precinct he wasn't entitled to vote in; that's what Coulter did (and where she did it, it's a felony). That's why Coulter is under investigation, and Moore isn't: she committed vote fraud, and he didn't.

So your attempt to smear a good progressive fails, "Ellis Wyatt". Too bad.

[Ellis Wyatt]

20. yes

every question is an attempt to smear someone. That's right. To hell with independent thought. How dare I ever try to get my facts straight on a messageboard by asking a question for clarification about a "good progressive".

[Ellis Wyatt]

16. Good God!

What the hell is wrong with you people? This is the second time I've had people on this board jump down my throat because I asked a question. I thought I had heard something about Moore. The first respondant answered ideally. He filled in the missing data. The rest of you acted like nazis trying to kill me because you thought I may be an interloper.

I was not "assassinating" anyone's character, I simply asked a God-damned question. And because of that, I'm now linked to Bush?

Quit being retarded and trying to brand everyone as a republican.

[semillama]

25. Welcome to DU

You ain't officially welcomed til somebody leaves bootprints in your stomach lining, know what I mean?

Anyway, it's near the election and some folks tend to get paranoid around the newer people - on heightened troll alert.

I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, though, and other folks shouldn't be so ready to bring out the big guns.


Just keep a thick skin and remember it's just a message board. Remaining civil can go a long way, even if you feel you are being unfairly attacked.

[alfredo]

27. Also Moore, as you know, is the whipping boy of

the right wing, so we are quick, maybe too quick to come to his defense.

We do have problems with trolls from some of the Republican web sites.

Just hang in. Things will calm down after the election. Many of us are dead on our feet from campaign duties.



BTW, welcome to DU. and the boot marks will wear off.

[juajen]

28. WOW, and now you're damning God?

Two for two, brother.

[sui generis]

3. they should have lied and told her it was a

rectal probe

betcha she would have cooperated then.

Oh wait, didn't they cut her part out of the Wizard of Oz?

[truthisfreedom]

4. bwahahahahaha. i can't wait to see how this plays out. thugs ALWAYS think

they're above the law, and then they whine and cry and call it a liberal conspiracy when the long arm reaches out and drags them into court.

[ronnykmarshall]

7. If convicted .....

she won't be able to vote EVER!

[bluestateguy]

9. A poll watcher should challenge her voting rights on election day in Florida

Volunteers?

[GardeningGal]

10. Doesn't this mean that she can't vote in this election?

Unless she changed her address to properly reflect her residence, doesn't that mean she can't vote or else she'd be verifiably guilty? She certainly wouldn't be able to say she didn't know she was voting in the wrong precinct.

[williesgirl]

13. 9 Months to investigate & just now going to charge w/no cooperation? BS

Waiting til after election.

[lpbk2713]

14. She knows if Jeb got Limbaugh off the hook for his Dom Rep fun weekend

he will also get her (?) off the hook.

[demo dutch]

22. "Turn case over to the state attorney" The State Att. is running for FL Gov

Let's see what Charlie Crist(R) is going to do about it!

[kskiska]

24. The facts are being left out in these recent arti cles

She purposely registered to vote using her real estate agent's address because she didn't want her real address to be known. When she went to vote at the polling place for her residence, they didn't have her on their list. She went to the polling place for the realtor, and she wasn't listed there because of her residential address. She walked out in a huff. Now she's not cooperating with the authorities. In Florida this is a felony. Rule of law anyone?

[Riddler]

26. Gee, why would an INNOCENT person refuse to help????
