WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (AP) -- 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 February 7 Palm Beach town council election. Anderson 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requesting that she clarify her address for the voting records "or face the possibility of her voter registration being rescinded."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. The right-wing commentator also authored a book that said some September 11 widows were "enjoying their husbands' deaths."

Is this the same place where they railroaded RUSH?
this is unreal.
where is the oversight against these blatantly partisan prosecutions? the US is loaded with illegal aliens who manage to vote, but they investigate Coulter?
You beat me to it. What are these Republicans doing their?
Well, maybe this is their Oct. surprise?
Yeah, it's the same place that railroaded Rush. She needs to fire her lawyer. Get Rush's lawyer Ray Black and carry on.Don't forget on Coulter we have this rule here of pictures. Please!
You think that was unreal?

Let me guess. Some leftist Board of Elections supervisor redrew the precinct boundaries and conveniently neglected to send Coulter a card informining her she was in a different precinct now.
you know, when the election is over I'd like to see all the leftist media charged with campaign violations for providing free PR to the Dems.
In fairness to CNN, which they don't deserve, this is an AP article.
That's what made the Nazis too tough for any kind of resistance by "good Germans". The Nazis used their government offices in full support of their politcal party goals.
Any one other than Coulter or Limbaugh it's ignored.
Tempest in a teapot.
Isn't this also the place where they all vote up in New York, too?
If I were Ann, I tell these homos in Palm Beach to show me a list of all the other people who were prosecuted for "voting in the wrong precinct." I'd be willing to bet these jackasses would be hard pressed to come up with even one name.
What the hell does that have to do with this article?!
She will be fine as long as she didn't vote more than once on the same day. I have been through something similar before in my former days working in politics. In essence, despite the specifics of any state or local laws, you are a resident pretty much wherever you say you are for purposes of voting.
Exactly there are thousands of conservative communities in the US. There are very very nice houses in many of them. Why do Couter and Limbaugh put themselves in a liberal cesspool with a DA who would love their scalp?
>where is the oversight against these blatantly partisan prosecutions? the US is loaded with illegal aliens who manage to vote, but they investigate Coulter?
Exactly what I was thinking. It's not a felony when the Left engages in voter fraud.
Yes, an AP article which CNN was just jumping to exploit.
And what does that have to do with this?
