Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn't Count

David Daleyâ€™s â€œextraordinarily timelyâ€ (New York Times Book Review) account uncovers the fundamental rigging of our House of Representatives and state legislatures nationwide.

Lauded as a â€œcompellingâ€ (The New Yorker) and â€œeye-opening tour of a process that many Americans never seeâ€ (Washington Post), David Daleyâ€™s Ratf**ked documents the effort of Republican legislators and political operatives to hack American democracy through an audacious redistricting plan called REDMAP. Since the revolutionary election of Barack Obama, a group of GOP strategists has devised a way to flood state races with a gold rush of dark money, made possible by Citizens United, in order to completely reshape Congressâ€”and our democracy itself. â€œSobering and convincingâ€ (New York Review of Books), Ratf**ked shows how this program has radically altered Americaâ€™s electoral map and created a firewall in the House, insulating the Republican party and its wealthy donors from popular democracy. While exhausted voters recover from a grueling presidential election, a new Afterword from the author explores the latest intense efforts by both parties, who are already preparing for the next redistricting cycle in 2020.
