Sheriff: Man Says He Was Hired to Provide Phony Voter Registrations
(10/18/04 - Defiance, Ohio) — Defiance County authorities said today they have arrested a man on a felony charge of submitting phony voter registration forms. Sheriff's officers say they are looking into allegations that the man was paid with crack cocaine in exchange for compiling the bogus forms. Authorities said 22 year-old Chad Staton of Defiance had fraudulently filled out more than 100 voter registration forms. He is free on his recognizance to await arraignment Friday in Defiance Municipal Court.
No other charges have been filed in the case. But, officers said they interviewed a Toledo woman who claimed that she had paid Staton with cocaine for the phony voter registrations. Officers said they took voter registrations and drug paraphernalia from the Toledo woman's home. The woman said she had been recruited by a Cleveland man to obtain voter registrations. Authorities said the phony registrations were submitted to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections in Cleveland by the NAACP's National Voter Fund. There's no comment from George Forbes, Cleveland chapter president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Yeah. In the city of Cleveland Bush might get 18% now.
I dunno, but the Plain Dealer isn't as leftist as the Akron Beacon Journal. The PD actually endorsed Bush in 2000.
Do these stories every mention if the registrations were Dem or Republican? Who are the perps supporting that are doing this?
I always figured you had to be on crack to vote Democrat!
NO replies???? These people have no sense of humor!
Seriously, in the swing and GOP-leaning suburbs it may help Bush get a couple more points. Could make or break the state since 20% of the population of Ohio is in the Cleveland Metro area.
Oh boy....the hanging chad again...and the rats are involved again in 2004 trying to again steal an election....didn't wk in 2000 and it won't work in 2004.
LOL. . .for the same reason that he is from Defiance (go figure). . .
"Authorities said 22 year-old Chad Staton of Defiance had fraudulently filled out. . ."
I know. Now I can't work in a "dimpled Chad"/prison sex joke. Maybe that's for the best.
That goes without saying. Crackheads. Misfits. Communists. Other associated losers, etc. That's what the Democrat Party is all about these days, is it not?
Could it be that "Chad" is being left to "hangout" to dry by Forbes?
This is cracking me up. Sterilize the two Johns. No matter how many times you flush them, they will never reach the White House Crapper.
The only difference in this story and the one from 50 years ago is they are using "Crack" now instead of whiskey.
The Democrats have done this every election in the past 50 years and they also cough up the doe to certain Reverends and churches every election.
Yes this will help Bush in Cleveland-
by one hundred votes minimum.
You bet they've heard about it. Maybe it doesn't fit into their "mission" of "diversity." Call them. MAKE them know. The editor is Doug Clifton; managing editor is Tom O'Hara. Phone number: 216-999-4800. Ask for Clifton; if you don't get him, ask for O'Hara.
Fox News to NAACP: "Put this in your pipe and smoke it."
NAACP scandal #83,671. Tagged and filed. Running out of file drawers here. Guess I'll put it all on disk.
\ Because that is the one over-the-top, too-crazy-to-make-up detail that tells you that this story has to be true.
This is going to be one wild and crazy election.
CNN has picked this up, but with its usual leftist slant
