Yet even as Democrats swooned, a small cadre of Republican operatives, including Karl Rove, Ed Gillespie, and Chris Jankowski began plotting their comeback with a simple yet ingenious plan. These men had devised a way to take a tradition of dirty tricks--known to political insiders as \"ratf**king\"--to a whole new, unprecedented level. Flooding state races with a gold rush of dark money made possible by \u003cem\u003eCitizens United\u003c\/em\u003e, the Republicans reshaped state legislatures, where the power to redistrict is held. Reconstructing this never- told-before story, David Daley examines the far-reaching effects of this so-called REDMAP program, which has radically altered America's electoral map and created a firewall in the House, insulating the party and its wealthy donors from popular democracy. \u003cem\u003eRatf**ked\u003c\/em\u003e pulls back the curtain on one of the greatest heists in American political history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Daley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1631491628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631491627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2016 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2016 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2016","brand":"David Daley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47200845889791,"sku":"9781631491627","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da3916ff-cd4d-4195-9b4e-b46aa54b004f.jpg?v=1756788001","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ratfked-david-daley-9781631491627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
