The Best Democracy Money Can Buy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Best Democracy Money Can Buy (ISBN 0-452-28391-4, Penguin Plume USA) is a 2002 book written by investigative journalist Greg Palast. It is about corporate corruption, finance, globalization, political corruption, and the 'stolen' United States presidential election of 2000.

The first chapter goes into great depth covering the Florida Central Voter File, commonly referred to as the Florida scrub list, starting with a Thomas Cooper who was prevented from voting in 2000 because of a supposed January 30th, 2007 conviction date.
