About this Item
Rare first printing and material. 1992 at copyright; no other dates, indications. Glossy pictorial wraps, light cover, edge wear. Wrap-around cover design depicts American flag held by eagle. Pages near fine; no writing. Bind and spine fine, square. Near fine first printing of this monumental work. Fascinating and daring exposé confronts readers with one of the weirdest, wildest and astonishing non-fiction detective stories ever. The Collier brothers track down, confront and name the establishment figures who elegantly, or inelegantly, tilt results for power and profit. This is the groundbreaking investigation into the corruption stemming in all directions and times from the booth. The culmination of a 25-year investigation into computerized selection, journalists James and Kenneth Collier pose the question, "Why can t we vote the bastards out?" Their question answers itself: "Because we didn t vote the bastards in." We come face to face with a Supreme Court Justice who buries key evidence in a pivotal case; the most powerful female publisher in America, who refuses to permit her newspapers and tv stations to report; an Attorney General who jailed Jim Collier to avoid an investigation; and a cast of weak and corrupt politicos, lawyers, media announcers (repeaters), computer hacksters, professors, plutocrats, technocrats, aristocrats, intel operators, outraged citizens, conspiracy researchers, and crusaders. All involved in this scandal of unthinkable proportion entangled in a massive crime, and yet to be held accountable. Votescam fills in the blanks as it tracks down, confronts, and names the cabal who silently alter the outcomes. This first printing published in 1992, has since been updated by journalist Victoria Collier, daughter and niece, respectively, of the late James and Kenneth Collier, to reflect modern threats. As technology grows ever more powerful, the need to read the original and updated edition is evident.
