MAN SENTENCED IN OHIO VOTER FRAUD CASE
By Matt Margolis at 11:08 AM
The infamous "crack for votes" scheme has come to a close. Chad Staton, who was filling out false voter registrations in exchange for crack cocaine in Ohio last year and been sentenced to 54 months. This was the guy who was filling out forms in the names of Mary Poppins, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Michael Jordan, Dick Tracy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Brett Favre, George Foreman, Maria Lopez, and George Lopez.
Staton had given the forms to Georgianne Pitts, who was working on behalf of the NAACP National Voter Fund. The forms were given in exchange for crack. Ms. Pitts actually died in early December after what was ruled an accidental overdose. Her role shouldn't be understated either.
Ms. Pitts, working on behalf of the NAACP National Voter Fund, submitted the forms to the voter fund, which in turn submitted them to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.
Because the addresses on the forms were for the Defiance area, the Cuyahoga County elections board sent the registration forms to Defiance County's elections board, with a note to check the signatures for fraud.
I'm curious how an organization meant for registering voters would send registration forms to the wrong county. Usually such "oversights" are done intentionally in order to delay any possible verifications of the forms. The NAACP National Voter Fund has some explaining to do.
John Kerry on the other hand is probably concerned that Mary Poppins and Dick Tracy were duped into going to the polls on Wednesday, not Tuesday.

Certainly a more modern tie not one from a bargain rail in the charity shop this time.
