Ann Coulter tries to elude prosecution by entering victim protection program
The latest development in the Ann Coulter voter fraud investigation:

Fog thickens in Coulter voting flap

The Palm Beach Post
November 14, 2006

<snip>

In a Nov. 2 letter to the state attorney's office, Elections Supervisor Arthur Anderson said Coulter and her attorney have not been forthcoming about where she really lives.

Anderson wrote to State Attorney Barry Krischer:

Indeed, her attorney has even refused to provide my office with any form of written documentation, and has only responded by having Ms. Coulter's address protected from public information.

Here's the part that will really hack you off:

Ms. Coulter registered in our office on October 10, 2006, as a participant in the Address Confidentiality Program (ACP).

OK. Now I'm steamed.

The Address Confidentiality Program, passed by the legislature last year, is designed to keep private the addresses of FBI agents, police officers, correction workers and victims of domestic violence. Several people said Monday that Coulter claims to be in that last category, but her paperwork is not public record.

Krischer spokesman Mike Edmondson said the state attorney's office can't do anything about the voting fraud thing until law enforcement investigates.

Krischer has asked Anderson to hand things over to Palm Beach police.

A Palm Beach police spokeswoman said Monday that the department doesn't have the case yet.

<snip>



What, is she trying to set up some kind of Catch-22 situation in this investigation? They can't prove she voted in the same precinct, because her address is a secret by law??

Looks Coulter is trying to mis-use a well-intended law, one meant to protect real victims, in an attempt to thwart this investigation.


The story so far:

Coulter used her realtor's address on her voter's registration to conceal the address of her Palm Beach home, and then voted in her realtor's precinct. Florida statutes make it a third-degree felony to vote knowingly in the wrong precinct. Lying on a voter's registration can cost up to $5,000 and five years behind bars.

This would be the same Coulter who declared herself an expert on Florida elections back in 2000. Coulter praised then-Florida Secretary of-State-now-pathetic-loser Katherine Harris, who she said was being ridiculed by Democrats because she insisted on following Florida election laws to the letter.

"Obsessive rule-followers are the bane of Democrats' existence," Coulter wrote in defending Harris. :rofl:

1. I fail to see how giving her address to law enforcement and vote fraud investigators
is the same as giving it to the public.

2. Does that mean she'll have to go into hiding?
And become anonymous for her own protection?

And we'll never see or hear from her again?

Oh, please, please, please!!

6. She commented (stupidly) on the elections...
Other than that, her broom and band of flying monkeys have stayed more or less under the radar.

11. She has been strangely quiet.
Not one peep from her about the election ... must be a touchy subject with her.

4. My fervent hope is that she'll annoy the hell out of some
ambitious young ADA.

That is NEVER a good idea.

5. Let's throw an obstruction of justice charge on top of this.
Is there a special category of law enforcement for RW bloviators in Florida?

8. Did toxic Annie's boyfriend beat her? I would suspect the opposite.

9. I wonder if that law applies to Children's Services Workers?
I would like to know that none of my clients can go up to the SOS office and get my home address from their records.

12. Coulter is nuttier than a Fruitcake.
She probably should be locked up for her own protection, as well as for the protection of the general public at large.

The woman has said some very nasty things, and likely should be brought up on charges for those statements as well. Anyone who suggests that a sitting SCOTUS Justice be served rat poison isn't safe to be walking free.

14. Domestic violence?
She must be walking around her house bashing herself then. Sort of explains all of the crap she spews.

17. Now here's a loaded statement from the article
"My assumption's gonna be that she had a relationship with the candidate, Susan Markin," Giorgio said.

Relationship? What kind of relationship? H'mmmmm.

With the vile things Anthrax says if I was her I'd want my address hidden. But there is no excuse for not giving out your legal address for voting, etc.
