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.

At what point is the whole voting system going to collapse? There is so much fraud going on already! How can the final numbers ever be certified if there is so much fraud? Are the democrats going to cause the whole process to be invalid and we just keep president Bush in office for another four years? How many of these people and organizations that are commiting voter fraud will be brought to justice? How many law suits will there be in the following four year term? Can our system withstand the division, or will it result in a major clash?

[iconoclast]

so much voter registration by third parties

Given our geriatric population, can you imagine the amount of fraud that will be coming out of our nursing homes?

Good Grief I will have to tell my niece about this. She is being forced to read a book in her University English class about how Ronald Reagan sent crack cocaine into the black communities to cause a genocide. Who knew it was the NAACP!!!!!!!

I live in Defiance. We are a community of 20,000. If it's happening here, it's happening everywhere. Vote fraud is much more prevalent than anyone thinks. Everyone should be very very worried about it. For four years we have heard nothing but "Bush stole the election" from the sleazebag dems. That was aimed directly at the black voters. This should come as no surprize that the NAACP is involved.

I hope through the course of the investigation (if they have one, still waiting to hear what happened to Sandy Berger)they find Soros money funding the crack. Soros's commrade Lewis (don't recall his first name)that runs Progressive Insurance is based in Cleveland i believe it would be nice to see him get caught up in this scam too.

It would be VERY nice to see our own Police dept be the ones to break this and bring Kerry and the Dems down with it!!
