Where does Ann Coulter live? I heard her say on Fox news months ago she lived in New York.....how hard can this be? Answer your mail, Ann...oh, and where did you vote in the primary?,,New York? ----------------------------- Political author might face voter-fraud charges By Jose Lambiet Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Thursday, November 02, 2006 TV political pundit and best-selling author Ann Coulter may be one step closer to being prosecuted for allegedly casting her vote in the wrong precinct in a Town of Palm Beach election. Supervisor of Elections Arthur Anderson said Wednesday he would refer the case to State Attorney Barry Krischer's office as early as today or Friday Krischer spokesman Mike Edmondson said that in the past, accusations of voter fraud were referred by Krischer to the police department where the alleged crime occurred. If needed, it was then up to them, in this case Palm Beach Police, to file a probable cause affidavit with Krischer's office for prosecution. "But we have to see what Dr. Anderson will give us as far as documents before we go farther," Edmondson said. Still, the conservative writer will be allowed to vote in next week's mid-term election. Coulter did not vote in the latest primaries, according to records. Visibly frustrated during his press conference, Anderson said Coulter hired a lawyer, former federal prosecutor and 2000 election recount figure Marcos Jimenez, "in an effort to distract and divert focus" of his office's response to the complaint, made against Coulter by an election worker. On Feb. 7, poll worker Jim Whited reported seeing Coulter at his station at Bethesda-by-the-Sea. He noticed her voter's application showed an Indian Road address on the northern edge of the island, although he remembered reading about her buying on Seabreeze Avenue, to the south. When Whited went to Coulter to tell her she'd have to change her address in order to vote, she allegedly dashed out and, according to records, went to vote elsewhere - in the wrong precinct. All his office has been trying to do since, Anderson said, is to have Coulter clarify her address. He and Jimenez have exchanged a half dozen letters, to no avail. "She has been unresponsive. There's been no effort to provide the documents we requested," Anderson said. "We're not an investigating agency. We don't have the resources to continue, so I'm turning it over to the state attorney." Anderson also sent a few barbs Coulter's way. When asked about the snafu during her spring college speaking tour, Coulter took to claiming she doesn't even live here but in New York. In a TV interview, she wondered aloud if syphilis had attacked the brains of elections officials. One of Jimenez's letters, Anderson said, berated him for speaking to The Palm Beach Post about Coulter. "I find that ironic when the person he represents has glorified herself through the media for a long time," Anderson responded Wednesday. Jimenez didn't comment about specifics, but said: "We will respond in an appropriate way at the appropriate time."
