It's not over for Coulter (in Palm Beach voting case)

[kskiska]

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.

1. Good. "Rule of Law", Ann, rule of law! recommended.

2. Three charged with voting fraud in Mississippi today.

I wonder if the FEC prosecutes these in phases or something.

3. Jail time seems appropriate, along with being purged like all other felons....

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.

Of course she will probably get off scot free. Funny thing is, she is a constitutional lawyer.:rofl: I guess she failed her course, just like her other buddies on the right.

7. she should just be forced to move to West Palm Beach... that would be punishment enough

West Palm Beach, in case you haven't been there, is a sewer. Forcing her to live in a little "garden cottage" for a few months would be entertaining, to say the least. You could do a Simple Life spin off, of sorts. :rofl:

11. Seems that she

being a Lawyer and one specialized in the Constitution, she of all people would know better and therefore she should be given a much harsher penalty then Joe six pack with a high school education received years before.

4. Even Bush would draw the Line in PARDONING Ann Coulter..she is gonna burn

like others caught fucking with the system

5. Enforcement of Election Law On Republicans? In Florida?

Seems far fetched.

But kudos to Mr. Giorgio for standing up to object. The additional bad publicity should cost her far more than the $2K fine.

Now if only the DC Dems could regain consciousness and see the value in objecting to crimes.

We could then impeach and move on -- to Party unity.
