WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement of Greg Moore, executive director of the NAACP National Voter Fund, regarding the Ohio man charged with voter registration fraud:
The NAACP National Voter Fund is shocked by the stories swirling in Ohio regarding a Defiance man who has allegedly filled in over 100 fraudulent voter registration forms in exchange for cocaine. This matter deserves the attention of law enforcement. If laws have been violated, then legal action should be taken against the people who are responsible.
The NAACP National Voter Fund has detailed guidelines outlining procedures that should be followed by its volunteers. The individual arrested in Defiance is not a volunteer on record with our organization. Any person who works on behalf of NVF is required to abide by these guidelines and all applicable federal and state laws.
We believe anyone violating the law hurts the credibility of NVF and more importantly, the thousands of hard working men and women who are legally registering people to vote.
NVF has registered over 80,000 new voters in the state of Ohio and over 225,000 nationwide. These volunteers and canvassers who have worked tirelessly to enfranchise the disenfranchised citizens of Ohio throughout the year should not have their work discredited by the alleged acts of others.
We will not allow these allegations to disrupt our efforts to mobilize voters and ensure that their votes are counted on Election Day.
NAACP - NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF CORRUPT PEOPLE???
They're nuts!
Yes, and...?
Yeah but, how many others were handing out crack but just didn't get caught?
Translation: Dammit, it sucks getting caught.
NVF = National Voter Fraud
I called Marxine Water's office this morning and discussed this with someone in her office who professed total ignorance of this story.
As the conversation continued she said she would not want to be judgemental about what happened. I suggested she had no problem being judgemental against the president. And that I expected Ms. Waters to come out and blame President Bush for this outrage.
LOL Don't you wish you could have seen Maxine Water's "I just sucked on a sour lemon" face that she always has on.

voter registration deadline was October 4th so why are registrations still being sent in?
They're SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I tell ya.
No one else even thought about selling votes for anything other than cash, cigarettes, or food stamps...
Are these people stupid enough not to think we know what they are up to?
I don't think even the NAACP would be dumb enough to keep records of illegal activites. And by the way, I'm shocked I tell you, SHOCKED.
Something like the Mission Impossible tape--"Jim, as usual, if you are caught, we will disavow any knowledge of you?"
Would somebody please tell me why the two people weren't charged with possession and intent to distribute? Or is there some magical fairy dust that protects Dems against any prosecution?
