'Mary Poppins' Registers to Vote in Ohio
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 07:23 AM by Champ
DEFIANCE, Ohio - Elections officials knew something was wrong when they got voter registration cards for Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy, Michael Jordan and George Foreman.

They notified the Defiance County sheriff, who arrested Chad Staton on Monday on a felony charge of submitting phony voter registration forms. Investigators also were looking into allegations that he was paid with cocaine in exchange for his efforts.


Staton, 22, had fraudulently filled out more than 100 voter registration forms, Sheriff David Westrick said.


"Staton was to be paid for each registration form that he could get citizens to fill out," the sheriff said. "However, Staton himself filled out the registrations and returned them to the woman who hired him from Toledo."

2. He was working for the NAACP who actually submitted the forms
according to the article making the rounds yesterday. Why the hell people do not check these things before submitting is beyond me.
