Synopsis
Voter suppression is the key issue to the 2020 Election and Palast is the expert to explain why.... Has Trump already stolen the 2020 election? Vote theft was once considered to be a marginal issue that no one wanted to talk about, but as the stakes have risen and the facts have become known--in large part thanks to this author--it is now recognized as one of the central issues deciding our presidential elections.
The scheme's scope is staggering. In the Georgia 2018 midterm election alone--the testing ground--Republican voting officials quietly removed half a million voters from the voter rolls--including Martin Luther King's ninety-two-year-old cousin Christine Jordan. How Trump Stole 2020 is the story of the racially poisonous schemes to steal the 2020 election, the political operatives behind the trickery--and the hard right billionaires funding it all, written by the investigative reporter who has been covering this story from the outset.
Synopsis
"No one has told our story of our missing voters like Greg Palast" - Rev. Jesse Jackson. Follow investigative reporter for Rolling Stone, The Guardian and Democracy Now Greg Palast as he hunts for the vanished voters of Trump's America.
Yes, the election's stolen but Palast shows you how to steal it back
"Read this book. It might just save us Greg Palast is the most incisive journalist on elections. Plus he's @##$% hilarious." --Josh Fox, The Young Turks
Palast lets you in on the nasty secrets of Trump-merica's democracy:
- One in five mail-in ballots are never counted.
- The chance of your vote being thrown in the garbage is 900% higher if you're Black than if you're white.
- 16.7 million voters were purged from the rolls in the past two years. Guess their color.
In How Trump Stole 2020, you meet the scamps, scoundrels and grifters (or "Governors" as we call them in America) doing the dirty to voters of color. Check out the photo of Palast confronting GOP Governor Kemp of Georgia whom Palast catches under a neon pig at a bar-b-que joint to ask Kemp if he's wiping away Black voter registrations to steal the election. The response: Palast gets busted.
The book includes an exclusive interview with Stacey Abrams on vote thievery--and a 48-page comic book from the piercing pen of Ted Rall.
You may know Palast as the fedora-wearing gum-shoe old-school investigative reporter who busted the theft of Florida in 2000 for The Guardian and in his New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.
"Palast is one of our great investigative reporters. If you are not outraged by what Palast has uncovered, you have no heart. A searing indictment of our rigged electoral system." --Chris Hedges, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist
"Palast's work is invaluable for our community." --LaTosha Brown, Black Voters Matter
