Nicholas Seabrook, authority on constitutional and election law, and expert on gerrymandering, begins with the earliest gerrymandering (pronounced with a hard "g"!) before our nation's founding with the rigging of American elections for partisan and political gain and the election-meddling of the colonial governor of North Carolina (George Burrington) in retaliation against his critics. Elbridge Gerry was the Massachusetts governor from whom the naming of gerrymander derives. Patrick Henry used redistricting to settle an old score with James Madison, almost preventing the Bill of Rights from happening. Seabrook writes of the Supreme Court's 20th century battles to curtail gerrymandering, first with Felix Frankfurter, the court's most outspoken advocate of judicial restraint, and Byron White, professional football player turned Supreme Court Justice who tried, and failed, to convince his colleagues to put a stop to partisan gerrymandering before most Americans were even aware that it was happening. One Person, One Vote explores the rise of the most partisan gerrymanders in U.S. history, put in place by the Republican Party after the 2010 Census. We see how the battle has shifted to the states with REDMAP, the GOP's successful strategy to use control of state government to rig the results of state legislative and congressional elections for an entire decade. Seabrook makes clear that a vast new redistricting is already here and that to safeguard our republic, action is needed before it is too late--Adapted from information provided by publisher.
