Coulter Not Off The Hook In Vote Fraud Case

No wonder Karl Rove is so concerned about Voter fraud. Once Again, It's Projection.

It's not over for Coulter

When it comes to GOP twig Ann Coulter and her Palm Beach voting snafu, the fat lady has yet to sing.

While most expected the conservative pundit to be off the hook for good when the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office punted a voting fraud probe in April, the Florida Elections Commission now is investigating.


Coulter, a constitutional lawyer, voted in the wrong precinct in a Palm Beach town election in February 2006 after registering at an address that wasn't hers.

The Coulter voting saga is now known as FEC Case No. 07-211. The investigator assigned, Tallahassee's Margie Wade, wouldn't confirm she caught the case; FEC complaints are supposed to be confidential.

Still, Page Two is told Coulter already has been notified she's under investigation.

Who filed? WPB campaign consultant Richard Giorgio, whose stable of candidates includes mostly Democrats. His two-pronged complaint against the prolific boob-tube pontificator accuses her of false swearing and fraud.

"I actually saw her vote at St. Edward's (Church), and she looked in a hurry,"?Giorgio said. The church is reserved for voters from the north side of the island, while Coulter lives south near Worth Avenue.

"I didn't realize that she had tried to vote somewhere else and was turned back. This was willful. Anyone else would have been prosecuted."

But Coulter hasn't been, even after Palm Beach cops, the PBC supervisor of elections and sheriff's office looked into it. Coulter hired Republican 2000 election recount lawyer Marcos Jimenez to rep her and refused to talk.

He did not return calls.

According to FEC rules, Wade has subpoena powers and could force Coulter to sing.

So, what does best-selling author Coulter risk? The FEC could impose $2,000 in fines. And it could refer the case to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement or the state attorney's office for criminal prosecution.

The decision is left to the commission, whose seven members all were appointed by former Republican Gov. Jeb Bush.
