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.
Developing...
This is the first election year I remember hearing about so much voter registration by third parties. This is a glaring vulnerability to the integrity of our elections and seems to be something Democrats have jumped on with wild enthusiasm.
Whether deliberate or not, it is capable of completely throwing the elections into a state of inextricable confusion. Unless this stops, we can forever forget about having any confidence in the outcome of our elections.
Not to worry. The NAACP is non-partisan, right?
...and topping this year's list as Worst Job...CRACK WHORE!
He's not going down for out-of-staters....he's going to flip to the top guys on this. Watch.
It doesn't mention which part he was registering for, gee, let me guess.
Now, who is the party keeping the black man down?
Anyone?
No, because I get it clearly.
The DNC's coin of the realm.
Lake County Sheriff brought in FBI and US Attorney on those 100+ absentee ballots.
Looks like perp walks are coming, as the folks said they never applied for absentee ballots - only approved signs in their yards.
"Rock the Vote" man!
"Bitch set me up" Marion Barry
only one case.i bet there are 1000s more out there.
could you copy/paste the article for me? Rush talked about it, but I would like to read it.
Looks like the dimocrats are at it again! Bah!
"Defiance, OH"--many hillbilly WV gravitate to that place.
The naaPCP
Drudge is the source.
The post I was responding to identified the ringleader as a DNC delegate. That's what I'm talking about sourcing and blasting to Drudge, not the "crack for votes" story itself (which I know, he already has).
VOTE KERRY: Crack monsters for Kerry.... LoL...
