Now, MacLeod has lost the popular vote but has a narrow victory in the Electoral College. His opponent, Florida Senator Evan Stahl, saw his campaign rocked by allegations of an extramarital affair with another man. Despite the headline-making scandal, most Americans chose Stahl to lead the politically polarized nation. Backed by millions of supporters, Stahl refuses to concede, looking to individual members of the Electoral College to cross party lines. Gun lobbyist Charlotte Holmes is one of Floridas twenty-nine electors. When Charlotte announces she intends to vote her conscience and throw the Electoral College to Stahl, the president and his Florida machine haul her into court on felony charges--which, for some, isn't nearly punishment enough. Miami attorney Jack Swyteck is going to use every legal maneuver he can to keep his new client free, and alive. MacLeod's hand-picked prosecutor is determined to prove Charlotte is unfit to cast a vote. Dredging through her past, he's looking for skeletons to humiliate and discredit her, while others with far deadlier intentions have begun acting on their threats. As the pressure mounts, Charlotte and Jack must decide how far they'll go to stand their ground in the stand-your-ground state. 541 $d 20210120. 650 1 $a Courts $z Florida $v Fiction. 650 $a Presidents $x Elections $v Fiction. 650 $a Presidents $z United States $x Election $v Fiction. 650 $a Lobbyists $v Fiction. 650 $a Lobbyists $x United States $v Fiction. 650 $a Political corruption $z United States $v Fiction. 650 $a Swyteck, Jack (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 830 $a Jack Swyteck ; $v 16. 941 $a 2 952 $l CGPC482 $d 20230418010922.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20210601010800.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A78B63F2C29E11EB8BB6CF4559ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
