Résumé
A redistricting crisis is upon us. This surprising, compelling book tells the history of how we got to this moment-from the Founding Fathers to today's high-tech manipulation of election districts-and shows us how to protect our most sacred, hard-fought principle of one person, one vote. Here is THE book on gerrymandering for citizens, politicians, journalists, activists, and voters."Seabrook's lucid account of the origins and evolution of gerrymandering-the deliberate and partisan doctoring of district borders for electoral advantage-makes a potentially dry, wonky subject accessible and engaging for a broad audience." -The New York TimesGerrymandering is the manipulation of election districts for partisan and political gain.
Instead of voters picking the politicians they want, politicians pick the voters they need to get the election results they're after. Surprisingly, gerrymandering has been around since before our nation's founding. And with technology, those drawing the redistricting lines have, now more than ever, been able to microtarget their electoral manipulations with unprecedented levels of precision. Nick Seabrook, an authority on constitutional and election law and an expert on gerrymandering, has written an illuminating, urgently needed book on how our elections have been rigged through redistricting, beginning with the Founding Fathers, Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, and Reconstruction, and extending to the twentieth century's gerrymandering battles at the Supreme Court and today's high-tech manipulations of election districts.
Seabrook explores the rise of the most partisan gerrymanders in American history, put into place by the Republican Party after the 2010 census, and how the battle has shifted to the states via REDMAP-the GOP's successful strategy of the last decade to control state governments and rig the results of state legislative and congressional elections. A vast new redistricting is already here, and as Seabrook makes clear in order to safeguard our republic, action is needed before it is too late.
