Summary: Weight of the evidence
Review: I am a forensic certified public accountant by profession, with experience as a poll worker. During any fraud investigation the evidence uncovered is assigned a weight, meaning some facts trump other facts to determine the future course to be followed. Some facts are an elephant in the room. To attempt to discredit this book as another "conspiracy theory" without refuting the charges contained within it's pages is to ignore the weight of the evidence. Names, events, places, and charges are enumerated in detail. If you read this book, a simple dismissal as a "wild eye conspiracy theory" will not satisfy you. It will only reinforce the authors evidence. If you are concerned about our Democracy, read this book.

Summary: another great conspiracy fantasy
Review: i bought this book expecting facts about the voter fraud that has been a tradition in the Democratic party for most of a century. instead i get a wild eyed conspiracy theory with all powerful computers and a shadow government taking over America.if this book is true, why have we changed governments so many times in the past 40 years? voter fraud is very real, and sometimes even steals elections, but this book is simply garbage.

Summary: another great conspiracy fantasy
Review: I picked up this book expected a detailed discussion of voting irregularities in Florida, tied to the election of 1992, what I got was an unconvincing meandering mess. The book is full of supposed conversations presented verbatim, although not in such a way as to convey anything meaningful. Chuck full of unexplained `we knew what that meant' winking and loving descriptions of their own disbelief about what they perceived to be going on without explanation of what they thought was going on, this book is short on facts and long on baloney. Indeed, the Collier brothers seem more interested in name dropping and bragging about their alleged success as concert promoters and radical protesters than in establishing their `argument'. Boring, tedious and pretentious, the book is without redemption. Since it documents nothing, the book will not even appeal to knee-jerk anti-establishment radicals like, well, me. I don't mind having paid the five bucks the book cost me, but I can't get my reading time back. Deserves to be out of print.

Summary: Hard evidence of Florida vote fraud - and a great read!
Review: This is a "must read" for anyone who smelled a rat in the 2000 presidential election. Written eight years before the fact, the authors accurately predict Janet Reno's inaction and Justice Scalia's brazen decision, which effectively shut down the couting process. Not just theory, the Collier brothers personally discovered and present hard evidence of decades of Florida vote fraud. The clues point to a systematic corruption of our voting system by the heads of the major mass media corporations. It's no surprise that Bush's cousin at the Fox news decision desk triggered the stampede of "BUSH WINS" graphics. And its no surprise that searching every mass media website will yield no hits on the word "votescam". This book does not lean towards either major political party. It simply champions democracy, freedom of information and the need to enforce our voting laws. Buy it. Read it. Take action to revive our right to vote. Don't let the claimed 4-6 week wait dissuade you. I got my copy after a wait of only four days on December 10th, 2000.)

Summary: Interesting, but........................
Review: Typical of books conceived out of the need to tell a story, the Collier Brothers account of the fraud they encountered during their initial foray into politics tends to be scattered and fails to tell the story in a satisfying manner. This should not surprise anyone as if this is an accurate account of what the Colliers went through, it doesn't have the components of a good story. The bad guys got away with it, the heroes died, and the story was buried. What is surprising is that although the book is interesting and should be read by all citizens interested in the American political machine, it only scratches the surface of relationship of the NES and the media which is worth a book on its own. The Colliers, had they continued to pursue their business interests, may have been more effective in their legal pursuits had they been working with more significant financial support and it is not discussed within the book why the need to pursue the cause of exposing vote fraud required a nomadic existence. In the end, it is a good read, raises many questions that still remain unanswered, and in the light of the madness that was the 2000 election, certainly seems to present a viable underpinning for many of our suspicions of why term limits are constantly DOA in Washington.

Summary: This is fact, not fiction.
Review: Wow, I looked at the last review which said that Votescam
had no facts. The facts in Votescam have been fully documented
by the FBI, there is nothing in the book that cannot be backed
up factually, and that's what makes it such an enormous
and shocking documentary. I think whoever wrote that review
definitely had a vested interest in slandering the book.
Now, more than ever, people have to understand that our election
mess didn't start in 2000, it started in 1970 when
Jim and Ken Collier decided to write a book "Ballots Not Bullets"
and have Ken run for office, then like Alice, they fell down the rabbit hole and what they found will infuriate every American
who reads this book. It's not just a "good read" -- it's a great book!
