The Defiance County Sheriff's Office arrested Chad Staton, age 22, of Stratton Ave., Defiance, on a charge of False Registration, in Violation of Section 3599.11 of the Ohio Revised Code, a felony of the fifth degree.

The SheriffÕs Office alleges that Staton filled out over 100 voter registration forms that were fictitious. Staton was to be paid for each registration form that he could get citizens to fill out. However, Staton himself filled out the registrations and returned them to the woman who hired him from Toledo, Ohio. Deputies allege that Staton was paid crack cocaine for the falsified registrations.

Defiance Deputies along with Toledo Police Department detectives conducted a search warrant of a residence on Woodland in Toledo, believed to be the home of the woman who hired Staton to solicit voter registration. Officers confiscated drug paraphernalia along with voter registration forms from the home. The occupant of the home, Georgianne Pitts, age 41, advised law enforcement, along with Ohio B.C.I.&I., that she had been recruited by Thaddeus J. Jackson, II, of Cleveland, to obtain voter registrations. Pitts admitted to paying Staton crack cocaine for the registrations in lieu of money.

A business card provided by Pitts indicated that Jackson is the Assistant NVF Ohio Director of the NAACP National Voter Fund.

The initial complaint received by the Sheriff's Office came from the Defiance County Board of Elections. The Board had received the 100 plus registration forms from the Cuyahoga Board of Elections that had been submitted to the Cuyahoga Board by the NAACP National Voter Fund.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

Well, thank God he wasn't handing out something really dangerous like cigarrettes or lite beer ...

[KJacob]

If this is how they are getting new registrants then how can anyone assume they will actually show up to vote?

[Rutles4Ever]

This is outrageous! They're wasting good crack that could be going towards convincing the public to elect Kerry.

[TexasCajun]

The Black Activist group, ACORN got caught paying teens to register voters. The kids made a bundle filling out fraudulent registration forms, heck, finding real people was just to big a nuisance!

[BlueNgold]

Finally!
An answer to the question we've all been asking:

What are those Kerry people smoking????

[gunnygail]

Is Irving Slosberg out of jail for his cheating in 2000? Wait, never mind. He's a DEM, they don't have to play fair.

[orangelobster]

"MAN GIVEN CRACK COCAINE TO REGISTER VOTERS"

Why should the crackies be disenfranchised by republicans. It's high time for all Crackie Organizations to stand up and proudly endorse Kerry/Edwards.

[Rebelbase]

Now we know which rock the democratic party stands upon.

[boxerblues]

Remember, everyone. IF IT'S NOT CLOSE THEY CAN'T CHEAT, Crushing Democrats in Every Election and Why Your Life Depends On It.

Buy a copy for your friends, acquaintances, etc. Written by Hugh Hewitt - it's on the mark. And it's true. You want to fight this upcoming fraud? Get out the vote for BUSH - If it's not close, they CAN'T cheat......

[gunnygail]

They've caused a traffic jam in DC looking for the free crack.

[Richard Kimball]

Isn't there a rule that whenever someone says "crack" on an FR thread, you have to post a picture of Britney Spears?

[The SISU kid]

New definition of "ROCK" the vote??
