American Center for Voting Rights (ACVR), a not-for-profit entity, has conducted an investigation into allegations of vote fraud and election irregularities that occurred in Ohio during the 2004 presidential general election campaign. The ACVR, working with almost one dozen Ohio attorneys involved in the November election, reviewed the facts surrounding the November general election and found substantial evidence to suggest potential criminal wrongdoing by organizations such as Americans Coming Together ("ACT"), ACORN, and the NAACP – Project Vote.

Ohio Election Report

Clip from section 3.3 Litigation and Criminal Prosecution

Rampant Registration Fraud leads to RICO Complaint: Hundreds, if not thousands, of forged and falsified registrations are the subject of a civil racketeering complaint brought against several organizations who are charged with working in concert with the Democratic Party.

Defendants ACORN, ACT, the NAACP Voter Fund, and the Ohio AFL-CIO with the “America Votes” project to increase voter registration and voter turn out in Ohio.

All are alleged to have engaged in conduct facilitating the submission of fraudulent voter registration. The complaint includes some 14 paragraphs detailing over 200 separate criminal violations by the Defendants. Among the allegations that serve as the foundation for the racketeering complaint are:

o Numerous registration cards submitted in Franklin County by
ACORN for numerous individuals who did not exist between Fall
2003 and June 2004
.

o Seventeen forged registration cards submitted in Cuyahoga County
by Thaddeus Jackson, the Assistant Ohio Director of the NAACP
National Voter Fund prior to March 18, 2004
.

o A series of fraudulent voter registration cards submitted to the
Franklin County Board of Elections by two ACORN agents prior
to June 3, 2004.


o 19 false voter registration cards submitted to the Franklin County
Board of Elections by ACORN prior to October 8, 2004.


o A voter registration card submitted to the Lake County Board of
Elections prior to September 23, 2004 by the NAACP National
Voter Fund on behalf of an individual who had been deceased for
more than twenty years.


o A voter registration card submitted to the Lake County Board of
Elections prior to September 23, 2004 on behalf of a nursing home
resident who was not able to sign the registration card as
submitted.


o Over 50 registration cards submitted by the Ohio AFL-CIO to the
Summit County Board of Elections, some for individuals who
were already registered, many in the same handwriting.


o A falsified registration card submitted by ACT to the Trumbull
County Board of Elections by a resident whose address and social
security were wrong and whose signature was forged prior to
August 20, 2004.


o 19 voter registration cards submitted to the Hamilton County
Board of Elections by ACORN prior to October 8, 2004 with
similar handwriting, false addresses and for people who could not
be located by the Sheriff’s Department.


o A forged registration card submitted to the Franklin County Board
of Elections by ACORN employee, Kevin Eugene Dooley prior to
September 7, 2004. A felony warrant has been issued for Mr.
Dooley.


o Hundreds of falsified voter registration forms submitted by Chad
Staten in exchange for crack cocaine provided by Georgianna Pitts
of the NAACP National Voter Fund.


The case is currently pending in the Wood County Court of
Common Pleas. See Rubick et al v. America Coming Together, et
al. Case No 04: CV 650. (Exhibit H.)

· Crack Cocaine Paid for Registrations Perhaps the most outrageous example of voter registration fraud occurred in Defiance County, where Chad Staton pled guilty to submitting hundreds of fraudulent voter registration forms for the NAACP National Voter Fund in exchange for crack cocaine. Mr. Staton filled out and submitted voter registration forms in the name of cartoon characters, action figures, celebrities and other fictitious residents of Lucas, Cuyahoga and other counties. Elections officials throughout northern Ohio received registration forms from Mary Poppins, Jeffrey Dahmer, George Foreman, Michael Jordan, Dick Tracy and a host of other individuals. After investigation into the matter, Defiance County Sheriff, David Westrick learned that Mr. Staton was responsible for completing some of these forms and arrested him. Mr. Staton provided a taped admission regarding these crimes, was indicted and subsequently pled guilty. Mr. Staton admitted being paid for his efforts in crack cocaine by an NAACP National Voter Fund employee, Georgianna Pitts. Ms. Pitts, a Toledo native, was reported to be an employee of the NAACP and paid Mr. Staton with crack cocaine for the falsified forms. Ms. Pitts died suddenly of a drug overdose before being prosecuted for her crimes. Sheriff Westrick was able to trace the falsified registration forms and learned that they were submitted to the Cuyahoga County Board by NAACP Voter Protection Project, which is located in Cleveland, Ohio.

No wonder they had long lines, they all kept going to the back afterward. Long wait, sure, depends on how may times you voted.

Can someone translate the above for me? Which of these acronym-groups are more Democratic, more Republican, etc.? (Though I do know who the NAACP and the AFL-CIO side with.) Is this just another complaint that will be dismissed or fall by the wayside? Does the other side have a counter-suit?

One thing we must demand for sure:
NAACP must loose its tax-exempt status and they must register as a 527.
They are getting to be too blatant a political arm of the DNC. And cheating every way they can.

The Ohio Election Report was submitted to The House Administration Committee. The section quoted is a reference to current litigation in the courts. All of the groups mentioned are all involved with the Democratic Party.

Watch this video on the House Committee on 527's for some additional insight. Nine 527's were invited to testify, of the nine, three were Republican and six were Democrat. The only ones that showed up were the 3 Republican Groups.

I could be wrong, but wasn't this the investigation that the DNC and other leftist entities were clamoring for?

I love irony. Cool
