DEFIANCE, Ohio - A man was arrested Monday on a felony charge of submitting phony voter registration forms, and investigators were looking into allegations that he was paid with crack cocaine in exchange for his efforts, authorities said.
Chad Staton, 22, of Defiance, had fraudulently filled out more than 100 voter registration forms, Defiance County Sheriff David Westrick said.
"Staton was to be paid for each registration form that he could get citizens to fill out," the sheriff said. "However, Staton himself filled out the registrations and returned them to the woman who hired him from Toledo."
Staton was charged with false registration and was released on his recognizance to await arraignment on Friday in Defiance Municipal Court.
No other charges had been filed in the case Monday, authorities said.

I love the name of the city! Defying our election rules in Defiance.
Who is George Forbes??
Wow. Liberal organizations full of Democrats trying to rig the election in their favor? And handing out illicit drugs as a reward? Who'da thunk it?
I'm sure this story will either get spiked by the Leftist media or wrapped in a "this is politically motivated to disenfranchise minority votes" theme.
They can't win if they don't cheat.
George Will said yesterday that the Rats have realized that 20 years of trying to persuade voters to their viewpoint hasn't worked. So now they are using the judiciary to overturn the will of the people.
And they will cheat to get to appoint more judges.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Paid for by the NAACP!
Whoa... George Forbes is a long time Cleveland power-broker and (of course) Rat. If this splatters him, it could splatter many others. This could be fun.
Just when you think these people have hit rock bottom, they lead you down to another basenment.
Naw. Be angry. Be very angry.

Who is George Forbes?
I am afraid Peach, very afraid.
Gee, maybe theres something to the conspiracy that crack was invented to subjugate the black man. It certainly appears to be true in this case.
Sounds like Begala and Carville to me.
Is this the same George Forbes?!
George Forbes, partner in the law firm of Forbes, Fields and Associates, Cleveland.
I'm wondering if there is a provision within the Ohio Revised Code that grants the Sec State (a good man - Ken Blackwell) the ability to impose an emergency measure mandating photo I.D.'s on election day.
That could bring the liberal's vote rigging monkeyshines to a trickle from a torrent.
We just have to pray, ladyinred. Two week from tomorrow and hopefully we'll know by the end of the evening and like the outcome!
Wonder if this is somehow connected to the "stolen" computers from Democrat headquarters in Toledo?
Did you see this thread? Someone from Toledo hired this guy to forge voter registration cards.
