DECLARATION OF RICHARD HAYES PHILLIPS

________________________________________________________________________________
______

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746, I, Richard Hayes Phillips, declare the following:         
1. I have personal knowledge of the facts alleged herein.     
                     
                                  -snip-                     
                       
61. Having reviewed a substantial amount of forensic evidence, it is my conclusion that    there is direct evidence of ballot tampering in each of the eleven counties whose      public records I have examined, and that there is a compelling need to protect the    evidence from destruction, presently scheduled to take place on or shortly after      September 2, 2006.  The Court should order all Boards of Elections to continue to      preserve and protect all ballots, poll books, voter signature books, and associated    records from the November 2, 2004 election until a suitable repository is found for    their permanent preservation.       
                                             
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.   
       
Executed this first day of September, 2006.
