In other words, he is disenfranchised: that's called voter suppression. And THAT's what needs to be stopped. No one has ever really shown that voter fraud exists, or exists in any significant numbers to affect anything. Voter suppression, however, is widespread and becoming institutionalized in many states. Fortunately, this DOJ is trying to fight back against it.
As for Coulter, I don't know whether she should have been charged or not. I'll tell you a story regarding our upstanding selves that may (or may not) relate. We were moving from the Boston area to another state in September of 2004, just before the presidential elections in November. I wanted to be sure to be totally on the up and up so that I would be eligible to vote in my new state. So before we left, I went to our Town Hall to submit paperwork to remove us from the rolls of our Massachusetts town. We then registered to vote in our new city and state with our new address. However ... our daughter, who had moved to an apartment in a nearby MA town (she didn't move with us), neglected to reregister for her new address, and went back to our old town to vote. That was not good, but it was not like she was trying to cast two votes: she had been neglectful and just wanted to vote in the presidential election. She called and told us, however, that all our names still appeared on the town rolls--even though we were now living a thousand or more miles away. I guess the town clerk is slow. At any rate, they let my daughter vote there; and we voted here. Had anyone cared to check, she might have been accused of doing an Ann Coulter-type vote thing. And we could have been accused of being registered in two different states. None of us was intending to, nor in fact did, commit fraud.
