Summary:
"How Republican legislators and political operatives fundamentally rigged our American
democracy
through redistricting. With Barack Obama'
s
historic election in 2008, pundits proclaimed the Republicans as dead as the Whigs of yesteryear. Yet even as Democrats swooned, a small cadre of Republican operatives, including Karl Rove, Ed Gillespie, and Chris Jankowski began plotting their comeback with a simple yet ingenious
plan
. These men had devised a way to take a tradition of dirty tricks to a whole new, unprecedented level. Flooding state races with a gold rush of dark money made possible by Citizens United, the Republicans reshaped state legislatures, where the power to redistrict is held. David Daley examines the far-reaching effects of this so-called REDMAP program, which has radically altered
America
's electoral map and created a firewall in the House, insulating the party and its wealthy donors from popular
democracy
. Pulling back the curtain on one of the greatest heists in American political history. David Daley is the editor in chief of salon.com"--Provided by publisher.
