South Florida man charged for allegedly shouting anti-Semitic chants at polling station

WEST PALM BEACH, FL. – A West Palm Beach man has been charged with voter intimidation after he was caught on camera by reporters allegedly yelling anti-Semitic slurs at a campaign worker at the polls.

Nicholas Farley yelled at a poll worker at the Acreage Branch Library in Palm Beach County last week, authorities said.

The remarks appeared to be directed at Lilly Ludin, a campaign staffer.

“I’m very glad he’s been arrested now,” Ludin said.

Farley is currently behind bars on charges of voter intimidation, voter fraud, and a hate crime charge added to each charge.

In that incident, Loudon said, after allegedly using anti-Semitic slurs, 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 was “making some sort of racial slur.” Then, when 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 had no evidence Farley pointed a gun at him.

An audio recording of the anti-Semitic remarks Farley allegedly made was played to State Attorney Dave Aronberg.

After the arrest, Aronberg sent a statement via email:

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

State Attorney, Dave Aronberg.

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