23. I'm betting the right-wingnuts wouldn't count a step-parent or step-grandparent.

They are obsessed with proofs; obsessed with biological heritage. God forbid you change a last name. For them, these theoretical voters would have to produce proof of four grandparents having been born in the United States. Specifically:

Person X's birth certificate with both father and mother named.

X's father's birth certificate, with their father (X's paternal grandfather) and mother (X's paternal grandmother) named.

X's mother's birth certificate, with their father (X's maternal grandfather) and mother (X's maternal grandmother) named.

Birth certificates for each of the following to prove they were born here:
X's named paternal grandfather
X's named paternal grandmother
X's named maternal grandfather
X's named maternal grandmother

Of the 56% of American's who self-identify as third-generation U.S. Citizens I would guess that at most, 10% could produce proofs that would satisfy Ms. Coulter and her ilk.

But that is apparently her dream nation, one where only third-generation people who can prove it can vote.
