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.
