In The Steal, veteran journalists Mark Bowden and Matthew Teague offer a
week-by-week, state-by-state account of the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential
election
In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, President Donald Trump and his allies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states–Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin–Trump’s supporters claimed widespread voter fraud.Caught up in this effort were scores of activists, lawyers, judges, and state and local officials. Working with a team of researchers and reporters, Bowden and Teague uncover never-before-told accounts from the election officials fighting to do their jobs amid outlandish claims and threats to themselves, their colleagues, and their families. The Steal is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial nine weeks and a portrait of the dedicated individuals who did their duty and stood firm against the unprecedented, sustained attack on our election system and ensured that every legal vote was counted and that the will of the people prevailed.
