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.

Anderson's office received a complaint in February that Coulter voted in the wrong precinct during a Feb. 7 Palm Beach town council election.

Anderson, a Democrat, said a letter was sent to Coulter on March 27 requesting that she clarify her address for the voting records "or face the possibility of her voter registration being rescinded." Three more letters were sent to Coulter and her attorney, but she has yet to respond with the information requested, Anderson said.

In July, Anderson said, he received a letter from Coulter's attorney, Marcos Daniel Jimenez D'Clouet. The letter said the attorney would only discuss the matter in person or by telephone because, he complained, Anderson had given details to the media. Anderson said the matter had to be discussed in writing.

Coulter's attorney, Marcos Daniel Jimenez D'Clouet

Wow a Spanish, Irish, Frenchman for a lawyer.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

So, did she vote in the wrong precinct, or not? Did she give them a false address, or not?

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

I would love to see that trial. I'd pay to see the tesitmony.

Yeah, I'd love to see Ann argue over the meaning of "is," "address," and "resident."

GO ANN GO

[cripplecreek]

Didn't Michael Moore claim to be registered in Michigan and New York a few years back?

It ought to be against the rules to use "Ann Coulter" and "probe" in the same sentence.

It's just too disturbing.....

[Rockitz]

Those leftist SOBs in Palm Beach County won't give up. First Rush, now Ann- more taxpayer dollars down a rat hole to embarass conservative icons.

[eleni121]

As a citizen - I'd like a complete investigation of Arthur Anderson.

[TommyDale]

Half of Florida voted in the wrong precinct!

[My2Cents]

This isn't the same DA that's been trying to hang Rush on use of prescription drugs, is it? Every election, tens of thousands of "Democrat votes" are illegally recorded, but these doofuses go after the one or two high-profile conservatives.

This is America if the Democrats regain power...a slide further down the fascist poll.

[april15Bendovr]

Just like the Democrats to investigate Anns vote while being upset about voter ID cards and the right for convicts to vote.

[sappy]

I fantasize about her coming to Thanksgiving/Christmas Dinner with me and just crushing my in laws in political debate.

[John Lenin]

Yes, let's start digging into Florida snow birds who vote twice. Once in New York, once in Palm Beach.

[atomic_dog]

I'm sorry but it has gotten to the point where I have no more sympathy for celebrity conservatives who reside in a place like Palm Beach and then whine when the powers that be trump something up and come after them. Move!

Switching context: where's the pictures? you know the rules!
