Since the revolutionary election of Barack Obama, a group of GOP strategists has devised a way to flood state races with a gold rush of dark money, made possible by Citizens United, in order to completely reshape Congress--and our democracy itself. \"Sobering and convincing\" (\u003cem\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e), \u003cem\u003eRatf**ked\u003c\/em\u003e shows how this program has radically altered America's electoral map and created a firewall in the House, insulating the Republican party and its wealthy donors from popular democracy. While exhausted voters recover from a grueling presidential election, a new Afterword from the author explores the latest intense efforts by both parties, who are already preparing for the next redistricting cycle in 2020.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDaley, David:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Daley\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of Ratf**ked.
