ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE VOTER FILE:

A CLEVER TALE

“Pepper comes through again with this clever tale of how cyber sabotage of elections, coupled with highly concentrated ownership of traditional media operations, can undermine American democracy.”

– President Bill Clinton

 

PEPPER HAS DONE IT AGAIN

“Read this book and you will understand what could happen to our democracy. Let’s hope the fiction in The Voter File doesn’t become reality.”

– Senator Bill Bradley

 

BELIEVABLE, EVOCATIVE, AND SHIVER-INDUCING

“As timely as tomorrow’s headline, written by a man who knows exactly what he’s talking about. It’s also as unpredictable as a riptide, bringing what is a clear and present threat to modern democracy into pristine focus. Read and be warned.”

– Steve Berry, novelist

 

DAVID PEPPER TAKES US INTO THE DARK UNDERBELLY OF AMERICAN ELECTIONS

“Drawing on his insider experience, David Pepper takes us into the dark underbelly of American elections—how campaigns use psychological warfare to target voters to the edge of the law, and beyond.”

– Alex Berenson, author of The Faithful Spy
