Daley presents readers with an in-depth examination of REDMAP, a Republican Party initiative designed to flip state legislatures to push through Republican desires to redistrict states in favor of Republican candidates in the wake of President Barack Obama’s election. The author covers the REDMAP initiative’s progress state by state throughout the U.S., covering legislative battles in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Arizona. He also addresses what, if anything, the Democratic Party did to counter Republican efforts, and what may be done in the future to prevent such efforts. The author is a journalist and a Fellow for the Wilson Center for Humanities and the Arts and the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia.
