Free Press uncovers evidence of ballot tampering in Warren County, Ohio
April 19, 2006

After locking out all media observers and declaring a Level 10 Homeland Security Alert, the Republican-dominated Warren County, Ohio reported the vote tally in the wee hours of the morning on November 3, 2004 -- and gave George W. Bush a surprising 14,000 vote boost. Two election workers told the Free Press that the ballots had been diverted to an unauthorized warehouse where they had been possibly stuffed. That is, punched for Bush only. Maps were supplied to the Free Press showing the locations of the warehouse and the Board of Elections.

Warren County officials refused to allow the Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism to handle the ballots, but they did allow us to photograph a few. Richard Hayes Phillips, Ph.D., has analyzed the ballots for the Free Press and concluded that there is evidence of fraud in Warren County. The ballots as photographed with Dr. Phillips' commentary below each ballot are included here for the first time.

The Free Press predicted early on that the ballots would be found punched only for Bush in Warren County. The Moss v. Bush lawsuit pointed to Warren, Butler and Clermont Counties as the three counties that provided more than Bush's entire margin in the Buckeye State: Bush won Ohio by 118,000, and 132,000 votes were supplied in these three southwestern Republican counties.

2. my approved comment...

Interesting Ruppert claims he saw nothing untoward in Warren County that night. I did not realize lawyers could "see" a software program tabulating punch cards at the speed of 36,000 cards per hour. Couild Rupert see that every punch card was tabulated with the correct precinct code? Candidate ballot rotation makes this extremely important. I am assuming Ruppert checked the printed precinct codes on each ballot and made sure they were preceded by the correct header card.

Did Ruppert observe the pre-election testing of the tabulation software?

Methinks Ruppert is quite computer illiterate.

3. ER DUers ask yourself, why do Cinti. Enquirer politics reporters...

keep bringing up Election 2004 unless it is because they have doubts that perhaps their editors squelched. I urge DUers to contact via phone the following reporters:

Jon Craig Columbus reporter 614-224-4640 [e-mail]

Dan Klepal City of Cincinnati 513-768-8366 [e-mail]

Gregory Korte Enterprise/investigative reporter 513-768-8391 [e-mail]

Carl Weiser Assistant editor: Government/public affairs 513-768-8491 [e-mail]

Howard Wilkinson Public affairs 513-768-8388 [e-mail]

Everyone loves to just email but these reporters do answer their phones.

freedomfries, timeforchange and autorank have all contacted Enquirer personnel past and present at some time but like any good detective would say, it's important to reinterview witnesses.

4. Enq. Politics blog reporters keep revisitinfg Stolen Election 2004...

I can not tell you how many times they have reached and stretched to find a reason to blog about this,including writing about savetheballots.org. They are in a unique position to investigate. They have resources that Fritakis and Freeman do not.

Also not mentioned above Dan Horn was one of the reporters in the followup to the Warren County lockdown. Erica Solvig the reporter who broke the story is now at the Desert Sun

6. I emailed Ruppert who was the Kerry lawyer assigned to Warren in '04

my blog comments.

8. There was defintiely something fishy about Kerry's lawyers & the quickness

of the concession. Remember how Daniel Hoffheimer worked for the Taft (as in our convicted R governor's family) law practice? I have to think the rethugs had some dirt on Kerry. Why would they have a State Senator not discuss his vote switching with the media? Was was another Af Am State Senator who was challenged, not able to scream about the blaant disenfransement?

Every Dem who was silent on about the theft will never get my vote. Time for change in our party.

9. I think the problem with these lawyers is they are very naive about...

programming. I don't think they know a program can literally say

if a ballot comes along that has a highly improbable set of punches

then every 3rd vote for candidate Kerry shall be counted as a vote for candidate Bush

It is interesting that Freeman found ballots in Warren that had punches that were impossible from a ballot that was inserted into the Votamatic. Only holes assigned to a candidate or issue are accessible to the stylus. This is one of the ways a punchcard system can be triggered to count fraudulently.

Hoffheimer does work for Taft, Stettinus & Hollister, but the Taft connection is from 1924. There currently are no Taft lawyers, however that firm did have a gay lawyer lawsuit:

10. I believe you meant Fitrakis + Richard Hayes Phillips, not Freeman:

Now, for the first time, the Free Press is releasing images of the obvious election fraud in Warren County. The Free Press will continue its ongoing investigation in Ohio despite stonewalling by Republican state officials. See the images by clicking on the link below.
