A revelatory account by the bestselling author of Ratf**ked that will give you hope that America's fragile democracy can still be saved.
Following Ratf**ked, his âextraordinary timely and undeniably importantâ (New York Times Book Review) exposĂ© of how a small cadre of Republican operatives rigged American elections, David Daley emerged as one of the nationâs leading authorities on gerrymandering. In Unrigged, he charts a vibrant political movement that is rising in the wake of his and other reportersâ revelations. With his trademark journalistic rigor and narrative flair, Daley reports on Pennsylvaniaâs dramatic defeat of a gerrymander using the research of ingenious mathematicians and the Michigan millennial who launched a statewide redistricting revolution with a Facebook post. He tells the stories of activist groups that paved the way for 2018âs historic blue wave and won crucial battles for voting rights in Florida, Maine, Utah, and nationwide. In an age of polarization, Unrigged offers a vivid portrait of a nation transformed by a new civic awakening, and provides a blueprint for what must be done to keep American democracy afloat.
