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.","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136436191472,"sku":"9781631491634","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781631491634_p0.jpg?v=1763672117","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781631491634","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
