From his perch inside the Reagan DOJ, this lawyer would attempt to bring down one of the defining pieces of 20th century legislation-the Voting Rights Act. His name was John Roberts. Over thirty years later in 2013, these efforts by John Roberts and the conservative legal establishment culminated when Roberts, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, wrote SHELBY COUNTY VS. HOLDER, one of the most consequential decisions of modern jurisprudence. A dramatic move that gutted the Voting Rights Act, Roberts's decision-dangerously premised on the flawed notion that racism was a thing of the past-emboldened right-wing, antidemocratic voting laws around the country immediately. No modern court decision has done more to hand elections to Republicans than Shelby. Now lauded investigative reporter David Daley reveals the urgent story of this fifty-year Republican plot to end the Voting Rights Act and encourage minority rule in their party's favor. From the bowels of Reagan's DOJ to the walls of the conservative Federalist Society to the moneyed Republican resources bankrolling restrictive voting laws today, Daley reveals a hidden history as sweeping as it is troubling.  Through careful research and exhaustive reporting, he connects Shelby to a well-funded, highly-coordinated right-wing effort to erode the power of minority voters and Democrats at the ballot box-an effort that has grown stronger with each election cycle. In the process Roberts and his conservative allies have enabled fringe conservative theories about our elections with the potential to shape the 2024 election and topple the foundations of our democracy. Timely and alarming, Daley offers a powerful message that, while Shelby was the misguided end of the Voting Rights Act, it was also the beginning of something far darker"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2593861</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2593861</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Daley, David (Editor-in-chief)]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2593861126</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Inside the Far Right&apos;s 50-year Plot to Control American Elections</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063321090/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give Us the Ballot]]></title><description><![CDATA["The adoption of the landmark Voting Rights Act in 1965 enfranchised millions of Americans and is widely regarded as the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement.
