It could happen this year. Based on Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s investigative reporting for \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e and BBC television, \u003ci\u003eBillionaires \u0026amp; Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps\u003c\/i\u003e might be the most important book published this year--one that could save the election. Last week \u003ci\u003eBillionaires \u0026amp; Ballot Bandits \u003c\/i\u003edebuted on the NYT Bestseller list at #10 in paperback nonfiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBillionaires \u0026amp; Ballot Bandits\u003c\/i\u003e names the filthy-rich sugar-daddies who are super-funding the Super-PACs of both parties--billionaires with nicknames like \"The Ice Man,\" \"The Vulture\" and, of course, The Brothers Koch. Told with Palast's no-holds-barred, reporter-on-the-beat style, the facts as he lays them out are staggering. What emerges in\u003ci\u003e Billionaires \u0026amp; Ballot Bandits\u003c\/i\u003e is the never-before-told-story of the epic battle being fought behind the scenes between the old money banking sector that still supports Obama, and the new hedge fund billionaires like Paul Singer who not only support Romney but also are among his key economic advisors. Although it has not been reported, Obama has shown some backbone in standing up to the financial excesses of the men behind Romney. \u003ci\u003eBillionaires \u0026amp; Ballot Bandits\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the previously unreported details on how operatives plan to use the hundreds of millions in Super-PAC money pouring into this election. We know the money is pouring in, but Palast shows us the convoluted ways the money will be used to suppress your vote.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story of the billionaires and why they want to buy an election is matched with the nine ways they can steal the election. His story of the sophisticated new trickery will pick up on Palast's giant \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller, \u003ci\u003eThe Best Democracy Money Can Buy\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eTwice the winner of the Robert F.
