By: E&P Staff Universal Press Syndicate columnist Ann Coulter has not responded to a Florida elections office's request that she explain why she allegedly voted earlier this year in a precinct that wasn't hers.
That's according to a Wednesday column by Palm Beach Post columnist Jose Lambiet, who has
reported several times about Coulter's Florida voting problem.
Lambiet wrote yesterday: "Conservative pundit Ann Coulter, who makes a nice living commenting on the political process, may temporarily lose her right to be a part of that process.
"The blonde Democrat slayer has not responded to an April letter from the Supervisor of Elections office asking her to explain why she voted in a Town of Palm Beach precinct that wasn't hers earlier this year. The elections office tried to contact her again last week with another missive. No response. Now, the voting-eligibility watchdogs are losing patience."
Lambiet quoted election official Charmaine Kelly as saying: "We may start the administrative procedure to remove Ms. Coulter from the voter rolls this week. There will be a public hearing to cancel her registration. If that happens, she won't be able to vote until she re-registers. It's a rather rare procedure."
Kelly said that, after the hearing, a decision will be made about whether to refer the case to the state attorney's office for criminal prosecution, Lambiet reported.
Lambiet has previously noted that "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."
