After locking out all media observers and declaring a Level 10 Homeland Security Alert, the Republican-dominated Warren
County, Ohio reported 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.
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
