ncb,
huh? i don't understand your rush comment? do you have proof of other politically oriented people who were doctor shopping? i know you're not saying he's in a special class of
people who have been investigated for that, in general. there's a whole
society more or less set up to help doctors who have been in trouble for "overprescribing" pain meds. Here's some
guy who's up for it in Ohio.
As far as the Coulter thing goes, would she have had any reason to prefer voting outside her residence? I can see it as a simple mistake, and I can just as easily see her betting on the general incompetence of the voting apparatus we have in the States and assuming she would never get caught. Regardless, this junk with not responding for months is crazy. Definately appears to have a little case of thinking she's above the law.
I don't know that I expect this to result in some new form of voting fraud - but if you could get away with it I can easily see how it
could change elections. I'm in the same boat as you
reckna. There's a chance my votes on non-Federal offices might be useful, and possibly my Congressional votes - although very unlikely. This usually translates into me being able to safely vote third party.
I'd love to see the electoral college split state-by-state according the popular vote in that state.
