The Toledo Blade has uncovered a voter registration scandal now unraveling in Defiance County, Ohio. The sheriff there has arrested one Chad Staton on charges that he filed 124 falsified voter registration forms. Staton allegedly filled out the forms with fabricated names, like Jeffrey Dahmer, Mary Poppins, and Janet Jackson, and fictitious addresses. Why did Mr. Staton do this? According to the Blade, he did it:

…in exchange for crack cocaine from a Toledo woman working on behalf of the NAACP’s voter registration drive.

And the Democrats are trying to scare people about Republican “voter fraud?” It seems par for the course for the NAACP, the nonpartisan branch of the Democratic Party, to pull such antics (crimes). Here’s more from the Blade:

But it's not the first complaint of fraud against the NAACP Voter Fund, which insists it is nonpartisan.

Elections officials in Lake County, just east of Cleveland, last month began investigating the group and an anti-Bush group called Americans Coming Together, or ACT Ohio, for hundreds of suspicious registration forms and absentee ballot requests.

Among them was one, submitted by the NAACP Voter Fund, for a man who'd been dead for more than two decades.
