A South Florida man is facing charges for shouting anti-Semitic slurs at a polling place

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – A West Palm Beach man is charged with voter intimidation after he was caught on camera by a news crew allegedly shouting anti-Semitic slurs at a campaign worker at a polling place.

Authorities said Nicholas Farley was recorded last week yelling at the poll worker at the Acreage Branch Library Polling site in Palm Beach County.

The comments were apparently directed at Lilly Loudin, a campaign worker.

“I’m very happy that he has now been arrested,” Loudin said.

Farley is now behind bars, charged with voter intimidation and corruptly influencing the vote, with a hate crime added to each charge.

In the incident, Loudon said, after the alleged anti-Semitic insults, he rushed toward her in the parking lot.

‘He swerved, I think, to scare me. And he came pretty close,” Loudon said.

In July, Farley was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after an African-American man said Farley “uttered some type of racial slur.” As Farley approached the man, he saw that Farley had a gun in his hand pointed at him.

Those charges were dropped because the alleged victim said authorities did not have evidence that Farley pointed a gun at him.

An audio clip of the anti-Semitic rants allegedly uttered by Farley was played for State’s Attorney Dave Aronberg.

After the arrest, Aronberg emailed a statement:

We will evaluate the case based on the information contained in the arrest report and provided by law enforcement authorities. The First Amendment does not protect someone from voter intimidation.

State’s Attorney Dave Aronberg.

Farley’s bond has been set at $200,000.
