Instead of voters picking the politicians they want, politicians pick the voters they need to get the election results they're after. Surprisingly, gerrymandering has been around since before our nation's founding. And with technology, those drawing the redistricting lines have, now more than ever, been able to microtarget their electoral manipulations with unprecedented levels of precision. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNick Seabrook, an authority on constitutional and election law and an expert on gerrymandering, has written an illuminating, urgently needed book on how our elections have been rigged through redistricting, beginning with the Founding Fathers, Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, and Reconstruction, and extending to the twentieth century's gerrymandering battles at the Supreme Court and today's high-tech manipulations of election districts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeabrook explores the rise of the most partisan gerrymanders in American history, put into place by the Republican Party after the 2010 census, and how the battle has shifted to the states via REDMAP--the GOP's successful strategy of the last decade to control state governments and rig the results of state legislative and congressional elections. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA vast new redistricting is already here, and as Seabrook makes clear in order to safeguard our republic, action is needed before it is too late.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNICK SEABROOK\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of North Florida.
