Sheriff doesn't know anything about voter fraud investigation

The Indian Road mansion in Palm Beach formerly owned by Ann Coulter's realtor has sold to new owners. Coulter used this house's address on her Palm Beach voter registration in order to keep her true address a secret for personal security reasons. From a recent Palm Beach Post article:

The sellers are Suzanne and David Frisbie. She's the one who told the truth about Coulter. ("No, she doesn't live here.")

Despite Coulter's past protestations in print and on television that she lives in New York City (then why did she vote in Palm Beach?), her lawyer, former South Florida federal prosecutor Marcos Jimenez, confirmed to Supervisor of Elections Arthur Anderson that Coulter resides in Palm Beach.

Still, charges have yet to be filed against Coulter for voter fraud; since it was turned over to State Attorney Barry Krischer, the case has virtually disappeared. Sheriff Ric Bradshaw — whose office is supposedly non-partisan and supposedly has a deputy investigating the case — turned up to watch Coulter at a recent Lincoln Day Gala for the Republican Party in Palm Beach.

When asked about the investigation into Coulter's voter registration irregularities, Bradshaw said, "I don't know anything about that."

About Bradshaw's presence at the Republican event, an unidentified former Bradshaw staffer commented, "In a county with such an overwhelming majority of Dems, this wasn't the smartest thing to do."
