Why would the election judges in beautiful, upscale Palm Beach not question any person's eligibilty to vote in any precinct (like they do here in Texas)? We must show our voter registration cards to cast a ballot.
Sometimes being the defendant in a harassment suit has its possibilities for embarrassing the harassers.
Ann - I know you are reading - lets meet near the inlet and have lunch at gaunabana's soon. Ok, mail me! Hurry.
I live in Florida. You don't register by precinct anyway. You register with the County, and they tell you which precinct to vote in. So if she voted in the wrong precinct, it's the County election supervisor's fault for telling her to vote in the wrong precinct. And it therefore certainly does not justify them taking away her voting registration. She obviously went to the precinct they told her to go to since they had her on the voting rolls in that precinct.
What's interesting to me is that they are making such a big deal about this publicly. It's obviously politically motivated. I'm wondering if Coulter is the only Republican who has been subjected to this treatment.
I don't think that is really what they are complaining about. They are complaining that she voted in the wrong precinct. That's pretty petty, considering that it's the election supervisor's responsibility to tell you which precinct to vote in.
And I haven't yet forgiven her for stealing the tag off of my mattress. :-)
If Republican election supervisors tried to do this kind of stuff, it would be called trying to stiffle the vote, instead of voter fraud.
Wonder how many illegal and legal aliens will vote 2006 and 2008 in the CORRECT precinct?.. in Palm Beach county and really in all of Floridas countys.. especially the blue countys.. How about in Texas, Mexifornia, New Mexico, AND Arizona?.. Don't even ask...
She's going to have to make a teary-eyed confession that she voted while on Ambien, of which only Devilcrats would make more of an issue than nearly missing colliding with a police cruiser and crashing in to a barrier, at 3:00 AM, and then getting a police ride home, without any criminal investigation.
Jose Lambiet Reveals Britney Spears' Bust Size
Date: Saturday, January 12 @ 20:32:50 CST
Jose Labiet of the Star reports that according to a Victoria's Secret clerk at Denver's upscale Cherry Creek Mall, pop princess Britney Spears is one of the store's clients and when she purchases her bras, she goes for a size 38C.

Yeah, Jose Labiet is a real journalist.
COLUMNIST BOUGHT OFF?
Jose Lambiet is chatting on the phone at his desk at the Palm Beach Post when his cell phone suddenly rings. A 41-year-old, Belgian-born gossip columnist with a shaved scalp and the fast-talking cadence of a teenager drinking his fifth can of Mountain Dew, Lambiet takes the call. "Uh, well," he says, "how 'bout CityPlace?" He pauses. "Noon?" Pauses again. "OK, see you then."
The columnist picks up the other phone. "Nobody will have lunch with me on the island," he explains. "Nobody wants to be seen with me."
And for good reason. An up-in-your-business reporter who's never fit the ride-a-desk-and-report-the-commission-minutes style of daily newspapering, Lambiet chronicles the ups and downs of Palm Beach's wealthy socialites and celebrities in his column "Page Two." Often using unnamed sources, Lambiet can be mean if he dislikes you ("like most women in [Dan] Catalfumo's entourage, Rey also is blond and leggy," he recently reported of the infamous local developer's personal shopper) and downright fawning if you're on his good side ("so smooth, so diplomatic during her tenure," he wrote of former Palm Beach Mayor Lesly Smith).
Lambiet has attitude, so much personality that Sun-Sentinel editors in the late 1990s didn't know what to do with him. He wasn't the type of reporter who would be content covering cops. Instead, the newspaper gave him a column in which he probed and skewered South Florida personalities. One of them happened to be AMI chief David Pecker.
In February 2000, while writing his column for the Sun-Sentinel, Lambiet had heard that AMI employees were angry after the sale of the company and that one day someone had used a key to scratch the driver's-side door of Pecker's '99 black Corvette convertible. Lambiet discovered that Pecker ordered in-house security to investigate a few of his underlings. "David Pecker is set on making Boca Raton the scandal-sheet capital of the world -- but he's rubbing workers the wrong way," Lambiet wrote.
As the columnist tells it, after reading the piece, Pecker proclaimed: "Anyone who can dig up dirt like that should be working for me." Pecker offered Lambiet a lucrative three-year deal for the Sun-Sentinel scribe to become the Star's new gossip columnist. The exact terms are protected by a confidentiality agreement.
"That story says a lot about David Pecker," Lambiet says. "He didn't take my reporting personally. His goal was to go legitimate, and the hires he made were geared toward that. You hire reporters from the daily press, and you make them do tabloid stuff."
Other former AMI employees who asked not to be named claim Lambiet's contract was hush money. "Pecker didn't like what Jose was writing, so he shut him up," a former reporter for the Star contends.

Good one, man!
I really appreciate originality!
LOL
(I bet you're fat.)
Glad you liked it. I'm not fat, unless 6'1" and 185 is fat.
It must be all in your head then.
Seriously, what do your posts accomplish?
Does it make you feel superior?
editor and publisher, once a respected trade mag for the newspaper biz, is now just another smear and jeer rag.
Educational not:
Florida ALLOWS for provisional ballots. These ballots for for people who claim the right to vote at the precinct and there is a record issue.
FL's voter rolls are NOTORIOUSLY inaccurate with dead, moved, ex spouces, remaining on rolls long after they are gone.
Ann voted provisionally. Provisional ballots are just that, votes pending confirmation.
This is weak by palm beach since the allow those of a darker pigmentation to routinely vote provisionally without question.
Ann is being charged with voting while caucasion.
They would never remove a democrat from the registry...
Come to think of it, they would never check to see if a Democrat actually lived in the precinct in which they were registered, and would never even notice if one had voted multiple times in the same election. </sarcasm>
I don't think Jupiter is in Ann's price bracket.
