Votescam: A Bold Exposé on Election Fraud
A Pioneering Investigation
Votescam: The Stealing of America by James M. and Kenneth F. Collier, first published in 1992, is a landmark book exposing computerized election fraud in the U.S. Updated by journalist Victoria Collier, it reveals how voting systems can be rigged, undermining democracy. At Return to Hand Counting, Votescam inspires our push for transparent hand counting, proven by our Missouri Method.
James Collier’s 1996 Insights
In a 1996 interview, James Collier shared chilling findings from Votescam’s 25-year investigation, detailing how computerized voting enabled silent fraud. Confronting corrupt officials and media gatekeepers, the Colliers exposed “their” narrative—that machines are trustworthy—while showing how votes vanish in untraceable code. Watch the interview to hear Collier’s call for voter vigilance, echoing our mission to restore trust.
Machines vs. Democracy
Votescam argues that computerized systems hide votes, a risk confirmed by Mike Lindell’s trial victory on June 16, 2025, which spotlighted machine vulnerabilities. The book’s question—“Why can’t we vote the bastards out?”—points to machines as the culprit. Hand counting, unlike the opaque systems Collier criticized, ensures every ballot is visible, countering fraud seen in Wyoming’s 2025 election error.
Hand Counting: The Answer
Inspired by Votescam, our Missouri Method showed how counties could save a minimum $67,000 annually in 2025, counting ballots faster than machines. Hand counting catches fraud—one bad ballot is a felony we prove. Our eManual equips clerks to adopt this transparent system, fulfilling Collier’s vision for honest elections.
