James M. Collier
James and Kenneth Collier were born in Detroit, Michigan, as sons of a successful attorney. Their shared love of journalism and adventure brought them to New York City in the 1960s. An even greater love of for their country motivated them to run for office, and later to investigate the computerized vote fraud that derailed their grassroots congressional campaign. For the next two decades, the Collier brothers investigated suspected vote rigging across the country. An obsession with exposing the truth about the widespread theft of American elections enabled them to withstand the jeers of those who labeled their evidence “only a conspiracy theory.” Ultimately, the chronicle of their twenty-five-year investigation was published in Votescam: The Stealing of America. The book has become an underground classic, motivating citizens, activists, and political groups to demand a return to paper ballots and a transparent vote count. The Collier brothers died in the 1990s. Votescam is their legacy.
