“David Daley’s superpower has always been the ability to delineate with crystal clarity the patterns that have led us to the current political moment…Daley’s deeply engaging prose traces the legal strategy that took away Americans’ right to vote, and with it, the principles guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence: the right to determine the government under which we live. Chilling and convincing, Antidemocratic is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand American politics in 2024.” — Heather Cox Richardson, New York Times bestselling author of Democracy Awakening
“David Daley has written a masterful true-crime story in which the victim is democracy. He reveals the schemers behind today’s assault on fair elections, some of whom sit on the Supreme Court. Antidemocratic is both riveting and essential reading for anyone who cares about the fate of American democracy.” — Jane Mayer, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Money
“David Daley has written a definitive history of how the right-wing bullies in suits at the Federalist Society captured the Supreme Court and staged a relentless assault on voting rights in America. Just as the modern civil rights movement transformed American democracy, the Federalist Society’s anti-civil rights movement is the constant humming machinery of reaction working to implant plutocracy, kleptocracy, theocracy, and autocracy in our country. If you love democracy and want to fight for it, read this book and know thine enemy.” — Congressman Jamie Raskin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Unthinkable
“David Daley has been at the absolute forefront of educating us about the theft of our elections by radical Republicans determined to subvert everyone else’s power to choose their own leaders. An absolute warrior for democracy.” — Rick Perlstein, New York Times bestselling author of Nixonland and Reaganland
“Interesting and enlightening…Few pictures reveal more starkly how high public officials are in the tank, how blasé they are about their exposure, and how little can be done about it. ” — The Baffler

“A cutting analysis of the long-term project to disenfranchise left-leaning voters…The chief weapon, Daley argues convincingly, has been the Supreme Court, seeded with far-right-leaning judges who endorse this antidemocracy movement. At the heart is John Roberts.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Daley comprehensively details an intricate and long-running plot to upend the bedrock of the U.S. democratic process… a well-researched and thought-provoking study of the corrupting influences of dark money.” — Booklist
