When Defiance County election officials got a batch of voter registration cards for Dick Tracy, Mary Poppins, Michael Jordan and George Foreman, they might have wondered whether the person who gathered the cards was smoking crack. Maybe not, but he was being paid for his trouble in crack cocaine, said Defiance County Sheriff David Westrick.
On Monday, sheriff's deputies arrested Chad Staton, 22, of Defiance, who admitted to investiga tors that he filled out about 130 registration cards, making up the names and addresses. He said he was hired by a Toledo woman to solicit voter registrations. She gave him a choice of cash or drugs for his work, Westrick said. He chose crack cocaine.
Deputies from Defiance County in northwest Ohio and Toledo police searched the woman's Toledo house, confiscating drug paraphernalia and voter registration forms, Westrick said. The occupant of the house, Georgianne Pitts, 41, told investigators that she was recruited for the voter registration drive by Thaddeus Jackson, Ohio director of the NAACP's National Voter Fund.

It was not the first time Jackson's name has come up in connection with election irregularities. Earlier this year, the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections questioned 17 registration cards that Jackson turned in because the signatures on all 17 cards appeared similar. He blamed the problem on subordinates.
In 1992, Jackson resigned as chairman of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections and later pleaded guilty to accepting improper compensation while board chairman. Jackson could not be reached for comment Monday. Phony voter registration cards are a problem for election boards across Ohio and the country, as both Republicans and Democrats try to sign up new voters for this election.
Gwen Dillingham, deputy director of the Cuyahoga County elections board, said the 130 registration cards under investigation in Defiance County were dropped off at the Cuyahoga County board by one of 10 groups that have collected many of the 160,000 registration cards submitted this year.
"We get them for all different counties," Dillingham said. She said cards from people in other counties are sent to election officials in those counties. Dillingham said some groups are paying people $1 to $2 for each registration card. If Staton is found guilty of falsifying the cards, he could be sentenced to up to 12 months in jail and fined up to $2,500.
Laura Howell, deputy director of the Defiance County Board of Elections, said Staton may have been creative in filling out the cards, but he neglected one name. "He is not registered to vote in Defiance County," she said.
Crack and the NAACP. Talk about allowing yourself to be played by sterotypes. What a shameful organization.
Perhaps that explains how Je$$ie Jack$on, the fal$e profit, determined prison terms for crack dealers is somehow racist.
Just remember. If we complain about their tactics, we are intimidating voters and the demo lawyers will investigate!!
This is a perfect example of the "liberal way" or mindset. Catch the guilty party, feel sorry for him and then let him go. It's happening with terrorists in Cuba, killers in the U.S. and why not with election fraud, when will it end?

This shows the Dems have truly gone to the dogs --> The drug sniffing kind ;-)
"Dang! . . . this place is just INFESTED with Democrats!"
The name's Bond. Julian Bond.
What I'd like to know is, how come in ALL the vote fraud articles we've read over the last 2 months, why is the idiot crack addict the only one we've seen arrested?
Missouri now has more registered voters than population?
Philadelphia has more registered voters than population?
NY City has 300,000 unverifiable voter registrations?
Florida?
Colorado?
Arizona?
Washington?
Ohio?
Michigan?
One crack addict.
A conservative 527 needs to blanket the WB with ads pointing to this 'rat misadventure.
I think it's time to do away with outside groups collecting signatures. Voters should be free to pick up forms at election board offices,post offices, schools and libraries...and that's it.
Last week, I spent a few volunteer hours calling Cuyahoga County Ohio Absentee Ballot requestees on behalf of Bush-Cheney '04; reminding them they should have received their absentee ballots.
About 9% of those folks actually requested ballots, and many were very surprised their names were on the absentee ballot request roles.
It will take a hugh GOP turnout in Ohio to overcome voter fraud.
Agreed. Most of us visit these places as we run errands related to citizenship.
DOPE IS ON THE WAY!
Clearly, bribing people with crack to register illegal voters, is not just a breach pf law. It is a life and death matter. Didn't the late Rock Hudson die from bad crack?

How Democrats Steal Elections - Top 10 Methods of Liberal Vote Fraud
1. Over-Voting. In Democrat strongholds like St. Louis, Philadelphia and Detroit, some precincts had 100% of their registered voters voting, with 99% of the ballots going to Gore. Clearly, multiple voting resulted in extra tallies for Gore in the 2000 election. (New York Post, 12/09/00).
2. Dead Voters. This classic Democratic method of vote fraud goes all the way back to 1960 in Chicago and Dallas. The 2000 election was no exception. In Miami-Dade County, for example, some of the 144 ineligible votes (those which officials actually admitted to) were cast by dead people, including a Haitian-American who's been deceased since 1977 (Miami-Herald, 12/24/00).
3. Mystery Voters. These "voters" cast votes anyway but are not even registered to vote. In heavily Democratic Broward County, for example, more than 400 ballots were cast by non-registered voters. (Miami-Herald 1/09/01)
4. Military ballots. Many of these votes were disqualified for the most mundane and trivial reasons. At least 1,527 valid military ballots were discarded in Florida by Democratic vote counters (Drudge Report, 11/19/00).
5. Criminals. Felons are a natural Democratic voter and they're protected on voter rolls across the country. In Florida at least 445 ex-convicts - including rapists and murderers -- voted illegally on November 7th. Nearly all of them were registered Democrats. (Miami-Herald 12/01/00)
6. Illegal aliens. These voters have long been a core liberal constituency, especially in California. In Orange County in 1996, Rep. Bob Dornan had his congressional seat stolen from him when thousands of illegal aliens voted for Loretta Sanchez (Christian Science Monitor, 9/2/97).
7. Vote-buying. Purchasing votes has long been a traditional scheme by Democrats, and not just with money. In the 2000 election in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Democratic workers initiate a "smokes-for-votes" campaign in which they paid dozens of homeless men with cigarettes if they cast ballots for Al Gore (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 11/14/00).
8. Phantom Voters. These voters don't really exist, but their ballots do. In the 1996 Lousiana Senate race, GOP candidate Woody Jenkins had the election stolen from him when he discovered that 7,454 actual votes were cast but had no paper trail to authenticate them (Behind the Headlines, F.R. Duplantier, 4/27/97).
9. Dimpled chads. Those infamous punch-cards were a ballot bonanza for Al Gore. Democratic poll workers in Palm Beach, Dade and Broward counties tampered and manipulated thousands of ineligible ballots and counted them for Gore, even though no clear vote could be discerned. (NewsMax.com 11/27, 12/22, 11/18, 11/19/00).
10. Absentee ballots. Normally it's assumed that Republicans benefit from absentee ballots. But in the case of Miami's 1997 mayoral election, hundreds of absentee ballots were made for sale or sent out to non-Miami residents. Fraud was so extensive in the race that the final results were overturned in court (FL Dept. of Law Enforcement Report, 1/5/98)."
