Ann Coulter involved In Illegal Voting Case: Could Face Prison if Guilty
iht.com — WEST PALM BEACH, Florida: Conservative columnist Ann Coulter has refused to cooperate in an investigation into whether she voted in the wrong precinct, so the case will be turned over to prosecutors. Knowingly voting in the wrong precinct is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

- walkingdogs, on 10/12/2007, -28/+142The best thing about this is that if convicted, no matter how much time she spends in prison, she would then be a Felon and couldn't vote any more. 1 neocon down, how many more to go?

We have no obligation to tolerate the agents of hatred and intolerance. She goes on TV to spew her hateful viewpoints and rightfully deserves, at the very least, public humiliation. While I believe in her right to say and think what she wants (to the extent that they aren't lies and don't hurt people, which is questionable in her case), I also have absolutely no problem seeing her put in jail on unrelated charges. - mitchellk, on 10/12/2007, -7/+54Four people have been indicted on charges of voter fraud in Kansas City, officials said Wednesday.
Investigators said about 35,000 questionable registration forms for new voters were collected by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to improve minority and low-income communities.
The four indicted -- Kwaim A. Stenson, Dale D. Franklin, Stephanie L. Davis and Brian Gardner -- were employed by ACORN as registration recruiters.

She does have free speech rights and she uses them all the time. The problem is that she spews hateful *****.

Ann has the right to spout hate-filled polemicist rhetoric, and I have the right to voice my opinion that she is a disgusting subhuman whose tongue spews lies over the road bump of her adam's apple. The right is so hypocritical.
Free speech, by the way, has nothing to do with her breaking the law. - Azur2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36@skyshock21: Ann Coulter herself has wished death on a lot of people, including, but not limited to, the entire staff of New York Times.

When asked by John Hawkins if she regretted a statement she made implying that she wished Timothy McVeigh had bombed The New York Times instead of the Federal building in Oklahoma City, Coulter replied: "Of course I regret it. I should have added, 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters.' - littlebylittle, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6It's sad but true. What words constitute profanity is a product of cultural relativity. Anymore, the way people talk in the Western World, especially online, much less in TV, movies, music, etc., isn't as "awful" as it once would have been considered. I don't like the C word all to much, but what can I do about it? It seems like saying "Effing" is culturally acceptable now. That doesn't make it right. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Does anyone else understand? Can you explain it better? This is a hard one.

ACORN officials issued a statement Wednesday night noting that the group had alerted Kansas City elections officials and the Jackson County prosecutor last month after detecting suspicious voter registration applications.
All four defendants have been fired, and ACORN worked with the FBI in the investigation, the group said.
ACORN has said that some of its applications may have contained honest mistakes.
The Republican election director in St. Louis has criticized ACORN's voter registration process in that city. Its board sent letters to 5,000 voters asking them to re-verify their registrations, an action some critics called illegal. - Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Would you people stop labeling everyone who dislikes Ann Coulter as a "leftist" or a "lib?" It's very irritating to us moderate centrists who think the woman must be part viper to produce so much venom. Oh wait, I forgot, if you're not as far to the right as possible, you must be an extreme leftist, because there's no such thing as middle ground.

- EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -14/+71Much as I dislike Coulter, I don't know how obscure this law is, whether it's routinely enforced, or whether she knowingly broke it. However, it IS important, as Republicans complain all the time about voter fraud (and apparently, are also responsible for much of it). If she's guilty, I expect her to be treated as any other guilty person in the same boat.
But the thing Coulter should be really nailed for, IMO, is lying. The first amendment protects opinion, even unpopular opinion, but not lies, and especially not libel and slander. In my view, she's attacked too many people with the intent to smear and poison and I believe she's knowingly lied to do it.
For that, we should hold her accountable. It would set a much better example for the Limbaugh's of the world that opinion is protected but lies are not.- theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -63/+17You claim she has libeled and slandered people. Do you have any clue how many people are out to get her? If that was true she would have been silenced long ago just from the numerous and endless lawsuits.
Exactly who has she ever libeled or slandered? Name some names, please, along with the courts where the suits were filed. I goggled it, and all I can find is Ted Rall threatening to sue her, but not actually doing so because that particular comment that he didn't like was obviously made in jest.
Maybe you know something I don't. If you do, I would be extremely interested in hearing the particulars. It would be cool. - VolatileWhimsy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+23I don't know about her talking trash on others or if she intentionally did this or she even knowingly lied about this...

- Azur2, on 10/12/2007, -24/+20She's a comedian and political satirist, and in her shows & books she expresses her opinion. You can't be sued for expressing your opinion.

But nice evasion. - Koopa, on 10/12/2007, -18/+19"The first amendment protects all speech, lies or not."

And as for "yelling fire in a crowded theater," I really dont think that portains to this situation. - mikesherov, on 10/12/2007, -7/+23@theblooms: I dunno... do you consider insinuating that 9/11 wives are happy their husbands are dead as slander?

Yelling fire in a crowded theater was just an expression that Olivder Wendell Holmes used to desribe the fact that not all speech was protected. His famous phrase helped to develop the Clear and Present Danger interpretation of the Constitution which basically was brought about to jail communists in the US who were trying to hamper the war efforts in WW1 by handing out flyers telling people not to join the army.

while i appreciate your...er....enthusiasm, might i suggest we would all be better off to just not give her so much credit (i.e. attention, e.g. your post) and she can disappear into obscurity like the hack she is.
the only thing she is reliable for is ridiculous theater and pointless yelling...accurate my ass. - EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12The reason no one sues her is because, as has been said, a) it's difficult to prove libel and slander b) she couches most of what she says in the language of opinion (or at least would claim so after the fact), and c) she pretends to be a journalist and would likely use that as a shield, and get some sympathy, even from responsible journalists.
I'd argue that b and c are incompatible on ethical grounds. But the point is that anytime she's said that something "is a fact" or "is true" (like that Canada sent troops to Vietnam) and was later proven wrong, she has an obligation as a so-called journalist to set the record straight.
Even if she didn't intend a slight, she could be liable based on what I perceive as a reckless disregard for the truth. Now, most people won't sue because she has big bucks, it's still hard to prove damages from this, and it only serves to rally her troops. Most people think it's best to let her hang herself without pulling on the rope.
But I wish someone would. It is not acceptable to lie, even for politicians. If we want the political discourse in this country to change, let's start there. We can then argue the merits of the ideology till the sun comes up. - VolatileWhimsy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8No, a lie is a lie is a lie. To lie you have to be saying something that you know to be false... Saying something untrue would imply you were unknowingly false.. So you can not say whatever you want with the free speech ammendment...
- EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7By the way, for examples of Coulter's lies, just google "Ann Coulter's Lies" and you'll get a ton. Those lies that are meant to cut down her political opponents should ordinarily be considered slander or libel (depending on how delivered), but there's one more thing that prevents people from pressing charges: the people she usually does this to are public figures who, for better or worse, don't get the same level of consideration as us normal folks.
But the idea that slander or libel needs to be proven malicious or intentional is wrong. There are greater or lower standards for different penalties, that's all. I went through this when considering charges against someone. Anyone writing a book about real people has a responsibility to do fact checking and to correct errors, whether intentional or not. Not correcting them makes it clear, IMO, that they were intentional. - portwojc, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2@EntropyMan

"Knowingly voting in the wrong precinct is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison."
How about knowingly voting if you're not even a citizen? One of the parties not only looks the other way, but encourages it. Why do you think they're so against requiring photo IDs to vote?
Maybe she did this on purpose, to bring to light all of this hypocrisy, but I doubt it. - skyshock21, on 10/12/2007, -14/+3"However, it IS important, as Republicans complain all the time about voter fraud (and apparently, are also responsible for much of it)."

The problem w/ this argument is that you have to prove that the person actually knows differently and is intentionally misleading for the purpose of exploiting someone's character.

Ann Coulter is neither respected, reliable, nor a journalist. She creates her own facts and spouts opinion based on her distorted view of the world.
Daniel Schorr is a respected, reliable journalist. - skyshock21, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2"@theblooms: I dunno... do you consider insinuating that 9/11 wives are happy their husbands are dead as slander? I guess it really isn't, but she's still a sleazeball.... oops, there I go slandering people!"
No, you're misrepresenting her position. She was making the point that there was a group of widows who she seemed to think were using their husbands' deaths as an excuse to make a political point. I personally disagree with her, but she never said that those widows were glad their husbands died. - EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@skyshock1: "Why is this comment being dugg down? If you're going to pop-off about someone constantly libeling someone yet you can't provide evidence then you're guilty of the same thinig you're accusing Ann Coulter of."
Au contraire. I said I believe she is. That's my opinion, and it doesn't require court cases to prove my belief. You're free to disagree. However, if you google "Ann Coulter's Lies" you get a ton of references you can spend some time spinning for us.
If Coulter just said "In my opinion, Kerry wants to kill babies," she'd be protected by the 1st amendment. Slander and libel comes in when she claims something that isn't true as fact (and not correcting it after the fact demonstrates intent, IMO).
And I'm pretty sure I heard her claim exactly that the widows were enjoying their husband's deaths, though I'd have to check the exact quotes. - cramtod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5> How about knowingly voting if you're not even a citizen?

Supporting documentation, please.
Just because the right wing spin machine says it's true doesn't mean that it is.
Both the Democrats and Republicans want to ensure that only those that are eligible to vote do so. However, one party (give me an "R"!) is using voter ID to disproportionately disenfranchise the voters of the other party. - skyshock21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@ EntropyMan
Oh I gotcha! No blood, no foul then. :)
As for her comment about the widows the context she was expressing was one of disgust that they would exploit a tragedy for their own personal political gain. Hence "I've never seen widows so happy about their husbands deaths" (close approximation of the quote). I personally disagree with her premise and don't think that's what the widows were trying to accomplish, but if indeed it were the case then yeah, I'd be disgusted about that just like Ann is. - EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@Skyshock1: I actually heard her say it a number of ways and a number of times. It made me sick to my stomach and made my head spin -- by claiming that no one is allowed to criticize the widows, she was repeatedly allowed to do just that, proving her claim wrong. She even lied about the lie, IMO.
But I think the claim that the widows were "enjoying" anything wasn't aimed at discrediting their arguments, but destroying them as people, and that could be libel and/or slander. If Coulter wanted to discredit their arguments, she could have done that in a number of ways. But she essentially claimed the women were in it for the attention, profit, and fun, and that the women are better off now than before, which is clearly not true. And when the women corrected her, she continued to claim to know what was in their hearts.
For someone like Coulter, who seems to love attention (positive or negative), it may even be true that Coulter, in the same situation, would enjoy the attention more than the husband. But that's projecting. That's not what she said.
My point in this whole thread is that if people simply add "I believe" or "IMO" then they're generally off the hook legally due to the 1st amendment. But I think that Coulter intentionally doesn't use those words because admitting it was her opinion would undermine the argument (e.g., what does SHE know?)-- at least until she's thrown into court, where she'd probably claim EVERYTHING she says is opinion. She, and Limbaugh, and others need to make that clear whenever they say something for political effect. That's a start towards a better dialog, IMO. - tsf5000, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Ann can join Rush in the Hall of Shame now. I love the fact that 2 of the biggest conservative pundits are criminals.

At least she won't be able to argue that she wasn't given a fair chance to prove her innocence.
- apeweek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3It's taken nine months because she hasn't been cooperating.
Ann had taken steps to obfuscate her real address (a good idea if you're a celebrity), but when she tried to vote in her imagined community instead of her real one, she broke the law.

Been done. You lose. Get over it. We've got bigger, badder, more current criminals to prosecute. Time for the war machine, inc. to be put to trial. Really wish that we could charge Bush, Cheyney and Rumsfeld with war crimes, but good 'ol Dubya just made them legal a few months ago. - Azur2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Surely you're mistaken. Surely there can be no greater crime than getting a blowjob and lying to your wife about it. Hell, the republicans who don't feel the need to investigate e.g. fraud, corruption, and whether the president pressured CIA analysts, were so upset about that blowjob that they even appointed a special prosecutor and impeached Clinton. That's how huge that blowjob was. Then. Because it was a democrat president.

The only reason I can come up with as to why she didn't reply was that she knew she was wrong! And God forbid a person like her admits she is wrong. The whole of creation would cease to be!

I received a similar letter when the state mistakenly gave the county my mailing address instead of my physical address. I used a private mailbox service, in this case Mail Boxes Etc., to prevent problems when I travelled or needed deliveries requiring a signature. Recongizing the address as a business rather than a home, the county "voter services" office threatened to turn me over to the D.A. Thankfully I was neither in Florida nor famous, so it was easy to correct the error without the media being alerted by the county, as apparently happened to Coulter.- DyDx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6She has refused to cooperate... so your situation was not similar.
- growler1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16I think Coulter is odious, like Limbaugh and Hannity. The moral of the story here is, if you're going to swedge into politics and make your living peddling distortions and manipulations, you'd better be prepared for when the tide turns.

If you support the views of a vocal Republican, you must be a neo-con fascist.
The 2 party system does a ridiculous amount of damage to your country's state of affairs and general human relations. The amount of dialogue wasted on bashing each other in so unproductive, it's a wonder you people ever get anything acomplished.
I've watched this Anne Coulter tell bold faced lies on a CBC programme, and I've seen the crazy zombie look on her face when she's presented with an opposing point of view.
I'll quote NOFX "she's a ***** *****".- jerbaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9The problem in the United States is a natural result of the two-party system. Unless you effectively opt out of the political process you ARE either one or the other. The two party system has been very instrumental in keeping the United States politically to the right of the rest of the western world. It's no accident.
- tyho, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1You start out with rational arguments but end with a schoolyard vulgarity. Not surprising, but still disappointing.
There are real differences in the parties here in the US. There are real similarities as well, such as the depth of corruption running through both, and the fact the first priority of any politician is to be reelected. I suspect the politicians in your country are the same.
I wonder if we can know the name of your country so I can point out it's inadequacies.
While your at it let us know of the lies (specific examples please) Ann has told. I'm just curious because I've never seen her lose an argument or be caught off guard. - Memitim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2True, the two-party system that we suffer with is a poison to the democracy that we supposedly covet. Nothing like marginalizing the majority of the population because they don't fall under the hard and fast rules set forth by two small groups of committee leaders. All that is left for those of us who don't worship at the shrine of the Republican or Democratic parties is to enjoy these infrequent opportunities to watch a rabid partisan go down the drain.

It isn't about God.. It is about values. The left are far more concerned about what feels right versus what is right. It isn't about being gay or what you believe in, even if it is nothing. It is about pushing those beliefs onto others that don't have them and don't want them. It is about doing it through the courts and around the system. And no, the courts aren't a part of the voting system. It is about cheating and not playing fair. It is a lot like an adult version of kindergarten. The left is college educated, many are at least, yet unread and uneducated on history and much else that is useful in this regard. They think they are smart and don't need to really study the issues and have become very easy prey for an evil element and most have no clue. They are useful idiots.
Do you really think people on the right totally agree with Coulter's venom?? She is a counter weight in a country slipping dangerously in a direction that most are simply too stupid to see and/or understand. - pushmouse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4is it also about having the right to refuse to cooperate with an investigation?

Which is exactly what the republicans are doing. I don't recall anyone making the point that gay people want everyone to be gay, they just don't want to be tied to the back of some redneck's pickup truck and dragged 15 miles to a farm where they're then tied to a post and left to die. The republicans are the ones who want everyone to believe what they believe, "We hate gay people and you should too! If you don't hate them and want them treated as second-class citizens, you must be a godless terrorist yourself."
Democrats are no better, but pay attention to what you're saying man. The ones who are most adamant about pushing their beliefs on those who don't share in them or desire to have them are the religious right wingers. - satanatnmtedu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5No, the country was founded on freedom of religion not forcing my religion down the throats of others.

Yes, but I think you meant to mention the lawsuits from Californians for Public Accountability and Ethical Science (a religious nut group that is trying to block California's overwhelmingly voter-approved stem cell research program), or the four Illinois pharmacists that sued their employer when they were punished for violating the law on providing contraceptives. You also forget to mention that the ACLU does things like sue the Veteran's Administration to ALLOW vets to put religious symbols on their headstones. Your problem is that reality does, in fact, have a liberal bias. The only way you can promote your views is through selective manipulation of the facts.
"Damage confidence in the system"
That wouldn't be accomplished by doing things like insisting that your political opponents hate their country more than terrorists, or suggesting that terrorist acts be committed against newspapers expressing views you disagree with,or anything along those lines would it?
The problem with most neocons is that reality is against them. You can fool a lot of people a lot of the time, but the house of cards is collapsing now. - Snoopy7176, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1@jerbaker

I understand Marketing. The longer people stay on Digg and post comments, the more likely they will click on one of the paid advertising links, especially when they're topic generated. Digg has to know that. Of course they know that.- VolatileWhimsy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3They have advertising links?
- hammerattack, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Yep. I checked, double checked, and then checked again. 'Voting in the wrong precinct" is not a felony in Florida, or any other state.
If Coultergeist were a liberal democrat, you morons would be up in arms about her disenfranchisement.- cakestick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I wouldn't vouch for people that say the widows of soldiers are enjoying their death. You suck.
- VolatileWhimsy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Can you link where she said that? I can't find it.. :/

Florida Statute (2005)
Title IX, Chapter 104
104.041 Fraud in connection with casting vote.--Any person perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate or aid in the perpetration of any fraud in connection with any vote cast, to be cast, or attempted to be cast, is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
Title IX, Chapter 101
101.045 Electors must be registered in precinct; provisions for residence or name change.--
(1) No person shall be permitted to vote in any election precinct or district other than the one in which the person has his or her legal residence and in which the person is registered. - pabster, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3These people want everyone to be able to vote with no identification. Yet they whine that someone MIGHT have cast a vote at the wrong precinct?
The burden of proof on such a charge is ENORMOUS (as you have to prove willful intent) and these cases are RARELY prosecuted. The only reason this one has any legs is a Democratic elections supervisor looking to "get" Ann Coulter.
You liberals are a bunch of ***** hypocritical bastards, as I've said over and over again. - cramtod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6> The only reason this one has any legs is a

The supervisor (who happens to be a Democrat) is enforcing the law. Enforcing the law should never be construed to be a partisan issue.
What you should be questioning is who leaked the information to the media, what their position was and whether or not the information contained in the article is from public records. - VTmruhlin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2"Enforcing the law should never be construed to be a partisan issue."
You're right. It shouldn't be. But when one person's being agressively prosecuted for something that hundreds of others get away with, it has become a partisan issue.
- CimCookoo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Ann Coulter is a shill. I compare her to Borat. People that listen to her are the same people who think that the WWE is real. Unfortunately it seems like there is a lot of them in this country. I'm sure she gets a nice paycheck from all the controversy.
- H2SO4, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3I think we at Digg should have a Ann Coulter defence fund, and all revenue from ads should go to her fund too. We at Digg love you Ann. ~~Free Ann~~ ~~Free Ann~~!

LOL!! I was thinking the same thing... - amoirae, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2We were talking about your Grandma, twinkiejebus.
Sad.
- AlmostClever, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Hmmm....Democrat Elections Supervisor complains about Uber-Conservative talking head...YAWWWN. Next thing you know, birds will be flying south for the winter.
- nigg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7The comments in the article demonstrate how ridiculously polarised the US political system has become. Say something against the Republicans and you're automatically considered a Democrat, and vice versa.
I am disgusted by this intellectual immaturity.- scorchedearth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yet people are blind to how they are being manipulated into acting this way
