Description

Stealing Elections, American Style tells the captivating history of voter suppression and outright stolen elections in the United States from the country's founding to the battle over voting rights today.

Nearly everyone has an opinion about election integrity and voting, but very few have more than an inkling of the truth about American elections. From stuffed ballot boxes to rigged elections, one of the country's premiere voting rights attorneys, David Walbert, brings unique clarity to these issues by combining fascinating stories about some of the country's most outlandish stolen elections with a clear explanation of how elections are frequently rigged in advance of a single vote being cast. Drawing from his experience litigating election cases, arguing before the Supreme Court, and teaching constitutional law, Walbert explains how Supreme Court decisions since the 1800s have often been the cause of voting inequality. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the voting issues of today-gerrymandering, voter suppression, fraud, voter ID requirements, and voter purges, among others-and what the future portends. They will also learn how we got into the morass we're in and how the future can be better.
