Publisher's summary

A revelatory account by the best-selling author of Ratf--ked that will give you hope that America's fragile democracy can still be saved.

Following Ratf--ked, his “extraordinary timely and undeniably important” (New York Times Book Review) expose of how a small cadre of Republican operatives rigged American elections, David Daley emerged as one of the nation's leading authorities on gerrymandering. In Unrigged, he charts a vibrant political movement that is rising in the wake of his and other reporters' revelations.

With his trademark journalistic rigor and narrative flair, Daley reports on Pennsylvania's 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 2018's 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.

A must-read to uphold democracy!

This well-researched book exposes the attacks against democracy: gerrymandering, vote suppression, anti-fairness laws, and more. The big difference between this book and his previous is the citizenry that have fought against laws that make it difficult to register and to vote. Mathematicians have developed unbiased ways to measure redistricting maps that were designed to reduce the voices of the majority of voters. Read this and then volunteer to make fair elections the norm again!

A Must Read

This book should be required reading for every American. It’s almost unbelievable how many blatant schemes to cheat voters of their power have been successful. This isn’t a partisan issue. Every American’s right to vote and for that vote to matter is critical to maintaining our democracy. When ballot measures that passed by overwhelming nonpartisan majorities are then destroyed by politicians the system is broken. This type of underhanded governance has got to stop and needs to be called out loudly. While I am disheartened by the things that have already happened and are still occurring-I am inspired to fight.
