WITNESS TO A CRIME

A CITIZENS’ AUDIT OF AN AMERICAN ELECTION



Richard Hayes Phillips, Ph.D.

“Richard Hayes Phillips worked day and night for three years compiling irrefutable evidence of how the Republicans stole the 2004 presidential race in Ohio. This landmark investigation is a testament to what private citizens can accomplish when government officials fail to protect our right to vote and to count those votes as cast. Every American – Republican and Democrat – should read this book, and join the fight for democracy’s most fundamental right.”

-- Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Phillips’ long-awaited book, “Witness to a Crime: A Citizens’ Audit of an American Election,” has gone to press and will be available in March. The book will be hardcover, with a dust jacket. The manuscript is 448 pages, including Annotated Table of Contents, Glossary, Index, eight color plates, and a CD with 1200 digital images of actual ballots, poll books, voter signature books, and other forensic evidence from the 2004 presidential election in Ohio. The retail cost to the purchaser will be $30, including packaging and postage.

Phillips expects to engage in promotional tours across the nation, primarily in alternative bookstores, coffee houses, churches, peace and justice centers, libraries, and college campuses, in early spring and throughout the summer. These events are to be more than lectures. He hopes for freewheeling discussions about the restoration of self-government in America.

The Dust Jacket Flaps are the most concise description of the contents of the book. These, along with the Table of Contents, Introduction, Conclusion, and Recommendation, are available online at at

Election Madness

Serving as one of the Ohio investigators into the 2004 election taught me that citizen oversight is the cure to "Election Madness," a pandemic delusion fiercely held by half the country - that half that still votes.  Some of the symptoms include the belief that honest elections can exist even though:

* Votes are counted in secret (as any machine does);

~

* The government - whose seats are being challenged - counts the public vote; 

~

* Electoral management bodies (EMBs) repeatedly fail to maintain chain of custody;

~

* Exit polls that differ from reported results are explained away by corporate media;* A posture of arrogance and secrecy pervades EMBs toward the public, who are the rightful owners of the election process;   

~

* Recounts are impossible (paperless voting) or sabotaged by EMB failure to maintain secure protocols over the ballots, or conflicting results fail to overturn originally posted "official results;"

~

* Centralizing the vote counts defeats a precinct-by-precinct check on official results;

~

* Vote by mail, early voting, and other "convenience voting" methods - which defeat chain of custody - are used;

~

* Registration is used by partisans and election officials to disenfranchise voters;

~

* Redistricting is used by partisans and election officials to "choose their voters" instead of the other way around;

~

* Through rules, rulings, and laws, citizens are presented with no significant difference between candidates offered in the "two-party" system;

~

* Granting of personhood to corporations has monetarily corrupted democracy from a one-person; one-vote proposition to one-dollar; one vote...

Truly, the list goes on.

Let's hope your book will inspire citizens across the nation to go into their own EMBs and investigate, observe, count signatures, count ballots and follow the chain of custody.  Video as much of the process as possible, make movies, and write books, blogs and editorials. Where election officials fail in their duties, people should widely report on it in multiple venues.

Let's take our country back, by implementing an election process that models best management practices.

Way past time

Corruption in our electorial pracess seems to be a fact of life, the main question is who cheats best.   Right now, that is without question the Phony Christion Party of George Bush.  If Obama cannot win by a huge margin the same tactics are going to win for the Republicans yet again.

Land of the Free, Home of the Brave?  More like the home of lyin, cheating draft-dodging varmits.  (not that there is anything wrong with dodging the draft <grin>....it's the warmongering later that stings.)

Says who?

Irrefutable? Says who? Just because Phillips says so? Or Harvey Wasserman? Have fun fighting windmills, Mr. Quixote.
