Liz Smith Covers Ann Coulter’s Voter Fraud in Today’s New York Post, 70 Other Mainstream Papers…

Share article:

“When it Rains, it Pours” Week continues here at The BRAD BLOG

Widely syndicated columnist Liz Smith, in the New York Post today and elsewhere (her column runs in at least 70 papers), picks up on Joe Conason’s NY Observer piece from last week which pointed to our coverage of the Ann Coulter Voter Fraud issue.

In the bargain, a Fox & Friends producer has called me today to see if I might be available to appear on their show to discuss it tomorrow or the following morning (which would be about 3am or 5am my time, so if I do it, watch for the sleepless bags under my eyes…anything for Election Integrity). The producer explained that Coulter might appear after me via phone. I suggested she appear either before, or preferably at the same time, so she’s not allowed to, um, say things that aren’t true, as occurred last time she was asked about all of this on FNC.

As FNC tends to be, um, Ann Coulter friendly, we’ll have to see if she has veto power enough to ensure I never actually get to appear to discuss it. But we’ll see.

Anyway, here’s Liz today:

COULD THE sexy but controversial conservative gadfly Ann Coulter go to jail? According to Observer columnist Joe Conason – Ann is guilty of voter fraud. He says when the far-right Coulter registered to vote in Palm Beach back in 2005, she wrote her address as her Realtor’s office. She then signed the form despite its warning that falsifying any information on it makes one liable to felony prosecution.

Palm Beach County election officials say she also voted in the wrong precinct the following year, disregarding a poll worker who explained her error. (You can see this registration form online at bradblog.com.) Conason says those acts are crimes punishable by prison terms of up to five years and that Coulter is an attorney who knew what she was doing. Ann, with typical restraint, has called Palm Beach officials “syphilitic and mentally defective” but has stonewalled the ongoing investigation into the matter.

No charges have yet been filed.

Of course, you can read more about it, including perusing documents such as her fraudulent voter registration form and the report from the poll worker demonstrating she knowingly voted at the wrong precinct last year, via our “Ann Coulter Voter Fraud” Special Coverage page.

Good luck, Ann. Though it’s taken over a year for the rest of the national media to catch on, you may finally be busted. At least in the media.

UPDATE: 3:19pm PT Heard back from Fox, who reports they “just spoke to Ann and she is unavailable tomorrow AM,” so they probably won’t be covering it tomorrow. Have a feeling Ann will be unavailable every AM to talk about this one. Hope they’ll cover the story anyway, as I’m happy to stay up all night to help them.

    WHAT WILL IT TAKE to DEMAND that this is investigated and prosecuted? It’s all public record and the LAW isn’t interested? Why, because she’s a neo-con celebrity? Does this mean anyone else liable for voter fraud in Florida can claim the “Ann Coulter” example?

    Fucking nuts!

    What type of individual could work as a Faux and Fiends producer? Corraling a trio of dumbfox would be a depressing obligation. On the other hand, the intelligence of the viewers being what it is, there’s not exactly a high bar to attain. It seems conducive to a lot of on-the-job drinking.

    WTF is “sexy” about a fake blond, anorexic, long nosed, wicked witch of the west when not in makeup like Anne Coulter?

    When Muslims and non-Christians, come up, this is a woman who thinks we should, “invade their oountries, kill their leaders and convert them all to Christianity”.

    There’s nothing “sexy” about that. In fact, every time Anne Coulter opens her mouth or sends out a column, I’m reminded of that scene from White Hunter, Black Heart…

    “…she went on to say that that’s how she felt about it, that if she had her way, she would kill them all, burn them in ovens, like Hitler. Well, we all sat there in silence. Then finally, I leaned over to her and I said, “Madam, I have dined with some of the ugliest goddamn bitches in my time. And I have dined with some of the goddamndest ugly bitches in this world. But you, my dear, are the ugliest bitch of them all…”

    Peace

    So there is voter fraud after all! I wonder what prosecutor will be fired for this debacle. It’s just as Alberto says “We should be sensitive about voter fraud.” It is real after all. Maybe Ann is also an illegal immigrant?

    The fix is already in. Two Florida prosecutors have already said they won’t touch the case. She will walk just like Limbaugh.

    With all the “voter” fraud Thor Hearn and the deep corporate pockets have been misinforming Americans about over the years, it’s good there is actually a flagship case they can get behind and see that the maximum penalty is awarded.

    Nevermind the hijacking of our Democracy by the criminals embedded in the U.S. election system. Mass media coverage of the manipulated electronic voting machines without any accountability by design and the massive humanistic fraud against mainly poor people who’s vote the bushies destroyed was NON-EXISTANT. Still twisting the story around to this day in service of their multi-national corporate interest.

    Take the former San Diego County Registrar’s Mike Haas. He helped throw the San Diego CA runoff election and then knowingly used e-voting machines illegally in the 06 contest as well. What happened? An indictment?
    A ban from politics?
    No this bastard got the typical Bush reward. A fat raise and a new job up the ladder where he can cuntinue his fine work. What a fcking douchebag in a fcked up system. There’s your lesson in modern US Democracy. No wonder Bush is trying to force feed this great system onto the Iraqis using U.S. guns so he can take over their oil fields. The job any lying criminal member of the Bush administration would refuse to do.

    As others have mentioned. If they can’t get a state charge against her then without a doubt Alberto Gonzales should immediately begin an investigation and prosecution of voter fraud. This kind of voter fraud can not stand. We are a nation of rule of law. At least that’s what the Republicans used to say. You don’t hear that much anymore from them.

    Go get her Alberto.

    If she was convicted, would she go to a men’s or a women’s prison? I don’t like her chances in either one, but I suppose there is always the possibility that the other inmates would recognize the power of her evil and make her their leader, or something.

    I love how, whatever name they call her, the Stephany Miller Show keeps having to apologize to the real or imaginary people or animals that she is compared to.

    The latest I heard was that they were comparing Coulter to pterodactyls. They apparently are offended too.

    Someone also said it wasn’t nice to compare Cheney to Darth Vader because Vader at least had some good left in him.

    Gotta love it.

    I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade, but I believe there is insufficient jurisdiction for a federal vote fraud case. Ann Coulter voted in a city council election. For the federal law to be violated, she would have had to vote in a federal election.

    I commented on this in detail last week here.

    The prosecuters seem to have a take on it that “voter ID fraud” is a republican law that applies only to democrats. 😉

    Hence Annie “Get Your Gun” Coulter is immune. She is a proud republican.

    Palm Harbor, Florida
    This is a Republican controlled state….only the poor go to prison here and all get long sentences but Ann Coulter has nothing to fear….Like Limbaugh, she has a pass this time and will get a pass next time too.

    Gag! Sexy? That is so Not a word I would put next to this woman, although I could certainly suggest a few who actually Are sexy. I really cannot stand this woman, and take a great deal of comfort in knowing that I am not alone! I’ll be looking for an update on the subject of a Fox interview with or without Coulter. Hmmm, Brand and Coulter debating…yeah, I’d be interested in that!

    Whatever happened to Rove’s voting in Texas claiming residance at the shack he owns (800 square foot) but never visits or even spends a night in? Anyone have an update on that little event. And that was in a Federal election. How sweet it would be to prosecute him. But never would happen, he is teflon coated.

    I was an assistant at a large talent and literary agency in Los Angeles before I moved North 10 years ago, and one of the 4 agents I worked for was Joe Morton’s agent (the black guy in Terminator 2) and all of his mail and voter registration materials went to the office of his business manager. In fact most of their clients’ mail never went to their homes.

    You can bet that even some of Marsha Herveys’ clients (the ones who didn’t fail and start blogging to get that much needed attention) have all of their mail sent to a Post Office box or an agent or manager.

    Since that horrible woman’s voting info is public record, why on earth would she use her home address?

    This is another non-issue that everyone’s favorite desperate muckraker has successfully exploited for self-promotion.

    I read the Drudgette blog at least once a week and I’m invariably hooked for an hour; eyes wide with admiration and disbelief at his ability to make planets out of anthills.

    And I’m on the same side.

    Coulter is a dangerous lunatic, but I don’t understand why “we” call her things like “Nazi” and “bitch”. Aren’t most of us feminists? Do two wrongs make a right?

    If her home address was public, everyone here, including me, would send her hate mail.
    Keep your election fraud tantrum going. You may set a world record for living in the past.

    texaslady said on 4/26/2007 @ 7:36am PT: [Permalink]

    # 24 the situation is this; you and I are required to list a correct address to vote. Coulter, Rove are not above the law. As for hate mail, hey, get a secretary to screen the mail. You spew hate you have to expect hate in return, change your way of making a living.

    Jay Lail said on 4/26/2007 @ 11:35am PT: [Permalink]

    I see. Two wrongs make a right.

    It’s not a matter of being above the law. You can’t slap a simple label on this, it’s sloppy thinking. We need to pick our battles and get them when it counts, instead of the constant din with “issues” like these.

    I bet Tim Robbins doesn’t get mail at his home.

    Thanks for making me defend Ann Coulter. It’s a terrific feeling.

    Now I must take a bath.
