The Steal (Matt Bowden + Matthew Teague)

The Steal by Mark Bowden + Matthew Teague

In-depth reporting on very specific stories of local players during the interregnum. These are all stories of Republicans, both those who want to “Stop the Steal” who are portrayed, unfortunately, as one-dimensional lunatic; this probably sells more books because the target audience here would prefer to think of them as lunatics than closely examine their lives. More on this when I write about Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America.

All that being said, I found it to be an interesting look at how people in key decision-making positions in each swing state (Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia) responded to the pressures of Trump and his loyalists.

If you wanted a reason to worry about who is running for local government positions that monitor or otherwise administer elections, then this would not be a bad thing to read.

And if you live in a swing state, please run for these positions or help someone who is already doing so that does not believe the Big Lie.
