One of several great books to emerge from the theft of the 04 election. Joan Brunwasser helped him write the book and has written this duscussion of it. Everybody in the ERD forum shd try to get a copy of the book. Here are a few quote from the article In the sphere of election integrity, Richard Hayes Phillips stands out. For the last several years, he has dedicated himself to investigating the forensic evidence of the 2004 presidential election in the state of Ohio. Why Ohio? Because it was key to the Bush “victory,” and because he saw disturbing anomalies, he threw himself into what would turn out to be a three-year project “to find out for self” (p. 1). Long after most people had reluctantly returned to their normal lives, Phillips soldiered on, studying the election records to a degree that they had rarely, if ever, been studied before. He requested, photographed, and analyzed “126,000 ballots, 127 poll books, and 141 voter signature books from 18 counties in Ohio.”
The result, Witness to a Crime: A Citizens’ Audit of an American Election was just published some weeks ago. The story Phillips unfolds is a fascinating one. This book is an indispensable aid to understanding the 2004 election in general, and Ohio specifically. Because Kent State University Press reneged on its contract, Witness to a Crime almost wasn’t published at all. But, this mild-mannered holder of four degrees, former college professor, talented musician, and seasonal Adirondack trail-clearer simply refused to allow this story to slip away.

Robert F. Kennedy has given his approval of the book:
"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."

Phillips describes himself:
I did not have to quit my job because, during most of the year, I have none. I accepted contributions which amounted to less than half of minimum wage, and when it wasn’t enough to pay the bills I borrowed from my own retirement accounts. I am the master of low overhead, and my house is paid for. I live only with a cat, and he is quite independent.
I do not enjoy criticism, but neither do I fear it, because my research is thorough, my knowledge is deep, and I tell the truth as well as I can see it. I cannot be intimidated because I have no fear, which renders courage unnecessary. I cannot be bribed because I am not motivated by money. I cannot be blackmailed, because I have nothing to hide.
I do have four degrees, although I rarely use them, and these are not what qualify me to be an election fraud investigator. The methodology is elementary. I only used four mathematical techniques: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Nothing more is necessary when the numbers don’t add up. And I do have certain attributes that proved well suited to the task: perseverance, ability to focus, attention to detail, the ability to smell a rat, and a detective’s knack for asking the right questions in the right order.
