Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Ratf**ked by David Daley The explosive account of how Republican legislators and political operatives fundamentally rigged American democracy through redistricting. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description With Barack Obamas 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 began plotting their comeback with a simple yet ingenious plan. These men had devised a way to take a tradition of dirty tricks—known to political insiders as "ratf**king"—to an unprecedented level. Flooding state races with a gold rush of dark money, the Republicans reshaped state legislatures where the power to redistrict is held. Reconstructing this previously untold story, David Daley examines the far-reaching effects of this programme, which has radically altered Americas electoral map and created a firewall in the House. Ratf**ked pulls back the curtain on one of the greatest heists in American political history. Author Biography David Daley is the author of Ratf**ked. His journalism has appeared in the New Yorker, the Atlantic, Slate, the Washington Post, and New York magazine. He is a senior fellow at FairVote, the former editor of Salon, and lives in Massachusetts. Review Quote Daleys book provides a blow-by-blow account of how this happened. He draws on investigative reports, interviews and court documents to give readers an eye-opening tour of a process that many Americans never see….What Daley makes clear is that ruthless partisan gerrymandering is not good for democracy and makes it that much more difficult to wrestle control of the House away from the GOP. Democrats should read this book. -- Julian E. Zelizer (Washington Post) Extraordinarily timely and undeniably important. -- Alex Wagner (New York Times Book Review) Compelling. -- Elizabeth Kolbert (The New Yorker) The way dark money was translated into congressional majorities is one of the great, sinister stories of our time. But in David Daley the shadow figures have finally met their match. -- Thomas Frank, author of Whats the Matter with Kansas Details ISBN1631493213 Year 2017 ISBN-10 1631493213 ISBN-13 9781631493218 Format Paperback Country of Publication United States Illustrations 5 maps Author David Daley Pages 352 Subtitle Why Your Vote Doesnt Count DEWEY 328.73073455 Language English UK Release Date 2017-08-04 AU Release Date 2017-08-04 NZ Release Date 2017-08-04 US Release Date 2017-08-04 Publisher WW Norton & Co Publication Date 2017-08-04 Imprint Liveright Publishing Corporation Alternative 9781631491627 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
