Columbus Cleveland data

I, RICHARD HAYES PHILLIPS, do swear and affirm the
following:

I am a natural born citizen of the United States of
America, and a registered voter.

I hold a Ph.D. in geomorphology from the University of
Oregon.

I am a professional hydrologist and am well versed in
standard techniques of statistical analysis, with
special expertise in spotting anomalous data.

I have analyzed unofficial results from the
2004general election in Columbus and Cleveland.

There is compelling evidence of systematic withholding
of voting machines from predominantly Democratic wards
in Columbus, many of them with high black populations.
This action severely restricted voter turnout in these
wards, and cost John F. Kerry upwards of 17,000 votes.
Franklin County Board of Elections Director Matt
Damschroder is known to have made this decision, and
he is known to have met with Ohio Secretary of State
J. Kenneth Blackwell and President George W. Bush in
Columbus on Election Day.

In Gahanna, Franklin County, Ward 1, Precinct B, where
638 ballots were cast, George W. Bush was awarded
4,258 votes. John F. Kerry received 260 votes. There
were 87 reported write-in votes, compared to zero in
the rest of the ward, 13 in the rest of Gahanna. Such
discrepancies can only be found through time-consuming
precinct by precinct analysis.

There is compelling evidence of incorrect presidential
vote tallies in numerous precincts in Cleveland,
Cuyahoga County. These irregularities include
wholesale shifting of votes from one candidate’s
column to another, and serious underreporting of the
vote totals. These actions cost John F. Kerry at least
6,000 votes, by conservative estimate.

There are demonstrable discrepancies in the reported
numbers of total ballots cast in Cuyahoga County.
These discrepancies include cities and towns with more
ballots cast than the number of registered voters; and
cities and towns in which the reported voter turnout,
though less than the number of registered voters, is
greater than the sum total of ballots cast in all of
its wards. These discrepancies amount to 246,919
votes, and call into question all the results in
Cuyahoga County. The numbers are compromised and not
to be trusted.

Supporting documentation is being provided to the
court.

As of this writing there are still 248,100 uncounted
ballots in Ohio, including 155,428 provisional
ballots, and 92,672 ballots cast but still uncounted.
George W. Bush holds a lead of only 136,483 votes in
the unofficial count, not taking into consideration
any of the above listed activities and discrepancies
or any others that may yet be found. Furthermore, a
statewide recount is still pending.

I pray for relief from this court, asking specifically
that

-- All ballots cast, and all records of ballots cast,
be preserved as evidence.

-- J. Kenneth Blackwell be restrained from certifying
the Ohio election results.

-- Amendment XIV, Amendment XV, and the laws enacted
pursuant thereto, including the Voting Rights Act, be
enforced.

-- Plaintiff be allowed to file amended complaints as
further evidence becomes apparent.


TO THIS I SWEAR AND AFFIRM,

Richard Hayes Phillips
STEALING VOTES IN COLUMBUS

The Free Press on Election Day posted a disturbing
story, later confirmed by the Columbus Dispatch. The
Free Press reported that Franklin County Board of
Elections Director Matt Damschroder deliberately
withheld voting machines from predominantly black
Democratic wards in Columbus, and dispersed some of
the machines to affluent suburbs in Franklin County.

Damschroder is the former Executive Director of the
Franklin County Republican Party. Sources close to the
Board of Elections told the Free Press that
Damschroder and Ohio's Secretary of State Kenneth
Blackwell met with President George W. Bush in
Columbus on Election Day.

The idea was to discourage turnout in Democratic wards
by forcing voters to wait in long lines at the polling
places. Such a strategy would be far more effective
than encouraging turnout in Republican wards.
Elections are all about margins. There are 74 wards in
Columbus. George W. Bush won 12 wards, with a margin
of 7.35%. John F. Kerry won 62 wards, with a margin of
37.62%. Affecting Kerry’s turnout would greatly reduce
his margin of victory in Columbus, giving the
Republicans a much better chance of overtaking Kerry
given a strong enough showing in suburban and small
town Republican strongholds.

Grand Total 177748 62.22% 105708 37.01% 2200 0.77%


In order to investigate this matter, I obtained from
the Franklin County Board of Elections all the data I
needed in order to calculate, ward by ward, and
precinct by precinct: (1) The ratio of registered
voters per voting machine. (2) Percent turnout,
calculated as total ballots cast divided by the number
of registered voters. (3) Percent for Kerry,
calculated as votes cast for Kerry divided by votes
cast for president. (4) Margin of victory or defeat
for Kerry, calculated as the difference between the
vote totals for Kerry and Bush.

The first thing I noticed was the distribution of
turnout. There is a statistically significant
difference between the turnout in the Bush precincts
and the turnout in the Kerry precincts.

Best Kerry Precinct: Ward 17, Precinct D
Kerry 97.66% Bush 1.98% Margin 95.68%

Note: Ward 22, Precinct H was a tie.


As the above table shows, turnout was over 60% in 68
of 125 Bush precincts (54.4%), and over 50% in 117 of
125 Bush precincts (93.6%). By contrast, turnout was
over 60% in only 57 of 346 Kerry precincts (16.5%),
over 50% in only 185 of 346 Kerry precincts (53.5%),
and under 40% in 34 of 346 Kerry precincts (9.8%).

Was the uneven distribution of turnout due to a lack
of enthusiasm for the Democratic candidate? Or was it
due to an uneven distribution of voting machines? To
answer this question, I arranged the data, ward by
ward, according to the ratio of registered voters per
voting machine.

As the above table shows, the 38 wards in which the
number of registered voters per voting machine was the
lowest enjoyed high voter turnout. All but 3 of the 38
wards at the top of Damschroder’s list had a turnout
above 50%, and 6 of the 38 wards at the top of the
list had a turnout above 60%. All 12 of the Bush
wards are included in the top of the list. The 26
Kerry wards in the top of the list are not his biggest
strongholds. In only 13 of the 26 wards did Kerry
exceed his city wide share of 62.22% of the vote,
which makes 13 of 38 wards altogether. However, these
Kerry wards did enjoy a high voter turnout. In 23 of
the 26 wards, Kerry’s turnout exceeded that of his
median precinct, 50.78%. Turnout exceeded 55% in 14
Kerry wards, and exceeded 60% in 3 Kerry wards.
Clearly, Kerry enjoyed a higher turnout where the
polling places had enough voting machines. What about
the bottom of the list?

WARD 12 423.9 41.81 86.47 + 1557


As the above table shows, the 36 wards in which the
number of registered voters per voting machine was the
highest suffered low voter turnout. All but 8 of the
36 wards at the bottom of Damschroder’s list had a
turnout below 50%, and 2 of the 36 wards at the bottom
of the list had a turnout below 40%. All 36 of the
wards at the bottom of the list were won by Kerry, and
they include most of his strongholds. In 29 of the 36
wards, Kerry exceeded his city wide share of 62.22% of
the vote. However, these wards suffered a low voter
turnout. In only 7 of the 36 wards did Kerry’s turnout
exceed that of his median precinct, 50.78%. Turnout
was below 45% in 14 of the 36 wards, and was below 40%
in 2 Kerry wards. Clearly, Kerry suffered a lower
turnout where the polling places did not have enough
voting machines.

A similar pattern is evident when examining the data
for individual precincts. I have arranged the data in
the same manner as above, precinct by precinct,
according to the ratio of registered voters per voting
machine. The 61 precincts with the lowest ratio of
registered voters per voting machine are shown below:

As the table above shows, of the 61 precincts with the
most voting machines per registered voter, 26 were won
by Bush, 34 were won by Kerry, and one was a tie.
Again, Bush enjoys disproportional favoritism. Bush
won 125 precincts and 26 of them (20.80%) are
represented here. Kerry won 346 precincts, only
34(0.98%) are represented here, and they are not his
major strongholds. In only 12 of the 34 Kerry
precincts did he exceed his city wide share of 62.22%
of the vote, which makes 12 of 61 precincts
altogether. Most of these precincts enjoyed high voter
turnout. In all 61 precincts, turnout was above 50%.
In 42 of the 61 precincts, turnout was above that of
Bush’s median precinct, 60.56%. Of these 42 precincts,
22 were won by Bush, and 20 were won by Kerry. This
proves once and for all that the Kerry precincts could
have enjoyed a voter turnout similar to that of the
Bush precincts, if only they had been supplied with
enough voting machines.

And what of the precincts with not enough voting
machines? The 60 precincts with the highest ratio of
registered voters per voting machine are shown below:

As the table above shows, of the 60 precincts with the
fewest voting machines per registered voter, only 5
were won by Bush, and 55 were won by Kerry. Again,
Bush enjoys disproportional favoritism. Bush won 125
precincts, and only 5 of them (4.00%) are represented
here. Kerry won 346 precincts, 55 (15.9%) are
represented here, and they include his major
strongholds. In 41 of the 55 Kerry precincts, he
exceeded his city wide share of 62.22% of the vote.
None of these precincts enjoyed high voter turnout. In
only 7 of the precincts was turnout was above 50%. Of
these, 4 were won by Kerry, and 3 were won by Bush.
Turnout was below 45% in 34 precincts, below 40% in 16
precincts, below 35% in 5 precincts, and below 30% in
one precinct.

It is important to understand what these numbers mean.
The polls in Ohio were open from 6:30 A.M. to 7:30
P.M. That is 13 hours, or 780 minutes. If there are
400 registered voters per voting machine, and turnout
is 60%, each voter has less than 3.5 minutes to vote,
and that is assuming a steady stream of voters, with
no rushes at certain hours. It also assumes no
challenges to voters at the polls. If there are 550
registered voters per voting machine, and the turnout
is 60%, each voter has 2.4 minutes.

All of this amounts to theft of votes. It has been
shown above that the Kerry precincts enjoyed a voter
turnout similar to that of the Bush precincts when
supplied with enough voting machines.

It is an easy matter to calculate, assuming the same
vote percentages for each ward, how many more votes
John Kerry would have gotten with a 60% voter turnout.
This is not an unreasonable number. The median Bush
precinct enjoyed a turnout of 60.56%. The turnout was
66.31% for Cincinnati, city wide.

I am aware that because the Franklin County Board of
Elections did not purge its voter rolls, there are
more registered voters than adults listed as living in
Franklin County by the United States Census. There are
many ‘registered’ voters who are dead or have moved
away. One might expect, therefore, a lower percentage
of voter turnout in Cleveland than in Cincinnati.
However, 60% of the voting age population is a
reasonable figure. Presidential elections have
surpassed this figure four times in my lifetime: 1952
(61.6%), 1960 (62.8%), 1964 (61.9%), and 1968 (60.9%).
In 1992 the figure was 55.9%, and the 2004 election
was probably more hotly contested.

Thus I conclude that the withholding of voting
machines from predominantly Democratic wards in the
City of Columbus cost John Kerry upwards of 17,000
votes. A more detailed calculation could be done on a
precinct by precinct basis, but that is not necessary
here. The purpose is to illustrate the magnitude of
the conspiracy.

Matt Damschroder did not act alone. There are 74 wards
and 472 precincts in Columbus, Ohio. It is not
possible for one person to have delivered all the
voting machines, and it is unlikely that nobody else
was involved in planning where to deliver them. Anyone
who associated with Mr. Damschroder on or shortly
before Election Day should be investigated for
possible complicity.
