The 2004 presidential election
   in Ohio, the state that decided
   the election, was rigged.
      Richard Hayes Phillips, Ph.D.,
   began investigating the Ohio
   election when he received an
   unsolicited e-mail containing
   obviously erroneous election
   results from Cleveland.  He
   quickly found that hundreds of
   votes in certain precincts had
   inexplicably shifted from John
   Kerry to other presidential
   candidates.  This made him a
   witness to a crime, with a duty
   to investigate further and to
   present his findings publicly
   The result is the book that you
   hold in your hands.  It is an
   investigative report and
   eyewitness history, the document
   of record for what really
   happened in Ohio.

           He began by analyzing election results at
        the precinct level.  Assisted by a band of
        “spreadsheet angels” who compiled the
        data into tables and spreadsheets, Phillips
        wrote and submitted 21 papers to the Ohio
        Supreme Court as an expert witness in the
        Moss v. Bush lawsuit.  He presented
        evidence of voter suppression, failure to
        count ballots cast, and alteration of the
        vote count sufficient to question the alleged
        victory of George W. Bush in Ohio.

        He resumed his investigation as a cold
        case.  He presented two new papers to the
        Election Assessment Hearing in Houston.
        He worked with Rolling Stone magazine on
        the landmark article by Robert F. Kennedy,
        Jr., “Was the 2004 Election Stolen?”  And he
        began submitting records requests to Boards
        of Elections in Ohio.
           Assisted by teams of citizen volunteers
        equipped with digital cameras, Phillips
        amassed some 30,000 images of forensic
        evidence.  Then he analyzed it all himself,
        examining 126,000 ballots, 127 poll books,
        and 141 voter signature books from 18
        counties in Ohio.  His preliminary findings,
        submitted to Federal Court in the King
        Lincoln v. Blackwell lawsuit, helped obtain
        a court order to protect the ballots from
        destruction.  His ultimate findings are set
        forth in relentless detail in this book.
           In the audited counties, three-fifths of
        the ballots punched for a liberal black woman
        for Chief Justice, and half of the ballots
        punched in favor of gay marriage, were also
        punched for Bush.  Thousands of ballots in
        heavily Democratic precincts were pre-
        punched for third-party candidates.  Voting
        machines were rigged, tabulators were
        rigged, ballot boxes were stuffed, ballots
        were altered, ballots were sorted according
        to candidate, and ballots were destroyed.
           But don’t take his word for it.  See for
        yourself.  Included with this book is a CD
        with 1200 digital images of ballots, poll
        books, voter signature books, and other
        elections records, for all to see, and for
        none to deny.  The evidence is in your hands.

        different courses in geology, geography,
        and history.  He has investigated the use

        witness in state and federal proceedings,
