"We are entitled to five more seats." With that line began a national race to redraw congressional districts in the middle of the decade.
The eighth book of Putting America Last: A World Without Friends follows the Texas gerrymander and the response from other states, the weakening of the Voting Rights Act in the middle of an election season, the federal government's efforts to override the states in running elections, the seizure of 2020 ballots, and offers of money in exchange for votes.
The book ends with what citizens, courts, and states can do to protect the vote. Based on court filings, state laws, and investigative journalism.
