She, in turn, was working on behalf of the NAACP National Voter Fund, which was formed by the NAACP in 2000 to register new voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sheriff Westrick said that Pitts, 41, of Toledo, admitted she gave Mr. Staton crack cocaine in lieu of cash for supplying her with completed voter registration forms. The sheriff declined to say how much crack cocaine Pitts supplied Mr. Staton, or to say whether Pitts knew that the forms Mr. Staton gave her were falsified.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Stop acting like the GOP Chair is just making stuff up, it&#8217;s not like there isn&#8217;t a precedent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GOP is at it again, falsely maligning the Democrats in Ohio.
