  Probe into Coulter vote intensifies


 An elections chief plans to turn the columnist's case over to
 prosecutors.

 WEST PALM BEACH -- Conservative columnist Ann Coulter has
 refused to cooperate in an investigation about whether she voted
 in the wrong precinct, so the case likely will be turned over to
 state prosecutors, Palm Beach County's elections chief said
 Wednesday.

 Elections Supervisor Arthur Anderson said his office has been
 looking into the matter for nearly nine months, and he would
 turn over the case to the State Attorney's Office by Friday.

 Coulter's attorney could not be reached, and her telephone
 number in Palm Beach is unpublished.

 Knowingly voting in a wrong precinct is a third-degree felony
 punishable by up to five years in prison, said Mike Edmondson, a
 spokesman for the State Attorney's Office in West Palm Beach.

 Edmondson said his office generally reviews such cases, then
 turns them over to local authorities for a full investigation
 that could result in an arrest if intent is proven.

 Anderson's office received a complaint in February that Coulter
 voted in the wrong precinct during a Feb. 7 Palm Beach Town
 Council election.

 Since then, Anderson said he has made repeated attempts to
 resolve the matter with Coulter and her attorney but has been
 rebuffed.

 Anderson, a Democrat, said an initial letter was sent to
 Coulter on March 27 requesting that she clarify her address for
 the voting records "or face the possibility of her voter
 registration being rescinded."

 Three more letters were sent to Coulter and her attorney during
 the next several months, but she has yet to respond with the
 information requested, Anderson said.

 In July, Anderson said, he received a letter from Coulter's
 attorney, Marcos Daniel Jimenez D'Clouet, that said the
 attorney would only discuss the matter in person or by
 telephone because he complained Anderson had given details to
 the media.

 Anderson said the matter had to be discussed in writing.
