"One of my last personal heroes ... A must-listen and a must-read. Do not go one more day without ordering this book: exposé re how vote is already hacked, what you can do to protect your vote.... Unmissable."
— Naomi Wolf 

"Palast, one our great investigative reporters, exposes one of the many mechanisms the corporate state uses to keep us enslaved. If you are not outraged by what Palast has uncovered you have no heart.”   — Chris Hedges

“Greg Palast is a real American hero trying to save our democracy. Read his work. It might just save us.” — Josh Fox, author and director of The Truth Has Changed and director of Gasland

"The most important book in a year of catastrophes. Palast is warning that the most decisive disaster is heading our way: theft of the 2020 election by Trump, his voter suppressors and election theft team. The train is barreling toward us with democracy as its explosive target." — Mark Karlin, Buzzflash

"Greg Palast is one of those inconveniently stubborn journalists who gets his teeth into a story and shakes it bloody right there in the middle of the parlor, dreadfully inconveniencing the pampered swells of the elite political press. ... Palast [has] dropped a bomb into the elections that has left credibility shrapnel all over the democratic process, if anyone cares to look for it." — Charles Pierce, Esquire
