Vote chief can't find lever to hook Coulter

When it comes to dealing with Palm Beach GOP vixen Ann Coulter — who, police now say, could end up facing two felonies and one misdemeanor — elections boss Arthur Anderson is starting to look like Don Quixote.

Nearly a year after Coulter allegedly voted in the wrong precinct in a town of Palm Beach municipal election, Anderson is looking desperately for a law enforcement agency willing to investigate.

In November, the gangly Anderson went to the town's police department. But Palm Beach's Finest weren't interested.

And Tuesday, Anderson met with a sheriff's deputy. PBSO will get back to him.

He could end up having to take it up with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Why's Anderson making those rounds? Because he was told that State Attorney Barry Krischer — a Democrat whose recent attempt to prosecute another conservative pundit, Rush Limbaugh, for alleged doctor shopping, went limp — needs police action before he brings formal charges.

Catch-22, anyone?

"I'm counting on the authorities to make the proper decision," Anderson said. "We're not an investigative agency. There has been a significant interest from the community in this. I just would like to see this completed as soon as possible, for mine and her interest."

After Anderson asked the Palm Beach PD for help, the department issued a three-page report last month hinting at troubles ahead for the law-and-order Coulter. According to the report, she could end up charged with: one felony count for signing a voter form claiming she lived at her Realtor's Indian Road home instead of her Seabreeze Avenue homestead; one felony count for "unauthorized possession of a driver's license," also for providing the same wrong address when obtaining her license; and a misdemeanor for knowingly voting in the wrong precinct.

The report's author, Capt. Elmer Gudger, concluded his agency didn't have jurisdiction because government clerks working outside the town signed off on the paperwork leading to the two potential felonies. As for the lesser charge, Gudger said: "We feel it's best for one agency to investigate the entire case instead of breaking it up."

Said county Democratic head Wahid Mahmood: "We know for a fact she broke the law. We'll keep watching this."

1. Wrist Slap

That is all she will end up getting, after months of legal wrangling and high-priced attorneys yelling about her civil rights, even if they do move forward.

Why not vote absentee if she is so concerned about people knowing where she lives?

I'm tired of famous people acting like they are better than us, and somehow deserve special treatment in all walks of life.

3. And why does Florida have these laws if they're meaningless?

The local authorities can pick and choose which laws they enforce.

4. Same everywhere

Every county and town and police force and D.A. selectively enforces laws. That's the nature of law enforcement. There is a lot of discretion in what gets prosecuted. But it should not be based on whether someone is famous or not. If no one would get prosecuted for what Coulter did, then she shouldn't get prosecuted either. But if a normal citizen would be prosecuted, then she should too. It's all about fairness and equality.

5. The problem is that normal people don't break these kind of laws

knowingly, so there isn't much precedent for equal treatment for celebs/non-celebs.

She broke the law intentionally by using her realtor's home address on her voter registration application. She did this to keep her home address off the voter rolls which are public record.

You see, unlike the "little people," she is special and privileged, and we should all recognize that the same laws don't apply to her, and that she can break them in order to protect and maintain her elevated status.

Check out my previous post about how she is trying to use the Address Confidentiality Program (meant to protect victims of domestic)as an excuse to keep her address from the public and avoid prosecution:

SHE MAKES ME SICK! :puke:

8. threats?

Has she received any credible threats to her safety? If so, then I don't blame her for trying to keep her address secret. If she's doing it just because she thinks she's a princess, then she does not have that right.

2. "vixen"?!?!?
