The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: A Tale of Billionaires & Ballot Bandits

A close presidential election in November could well come down to contested states or even districts–an election decided by vote theft? It could happen this year.

Based on Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s investigative reporting for Rolling Stone and BBC television plus new reporting by Palast for the new edition—a portion of which will be a Rolling Stone cover story, covered in major progressive media outlets which will include radio, television, and webcasts, and featured on listservs from important civil rights and activist organisations—The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: A Tale of Billionaires & Ballot Bandits will be the most important book published this year—one that could save the election.
