Unrigged: How Americans Are Battling Back to Save Democracy

  • Politics & Prose 5105 Connecticut Avenue Northwest Washington, DC, 20008 United States (map)

David Daley, a senior fellow at FairVote and the former editor of Salon, follows his revelatory report of how Republicans have used redistricting for their own political ends, Ratf**ked, with a wide-ranging and deeply researched account of how Americans are reclaiming control of the democratic process. A frequent media commentator on voting rights, Daley recounts how a group in Pennsylvania used mathematical data to defeat a gerrymander, how a Michigan millennial launched a statewide redistricting revolution with a Facebook post, and looks at the work of the voting rights activists throughout the country who helped realize the blue wave that swept Florida, Maine, Utah, and other states in 2018.
