In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, President Donald Trump and hisallies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states - Arizona, Georgia,Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - Trump's supporters claimed widespread voterfraud.
Caught up in this effort were scores of activists, lawyers, judges and state and local officials,among them Rohn Bishop, enthusiastic chairman of the Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, RepublicanParty, who would be branded a traitor for refusing to say his state's election was tainted, andRuby Freeman, a part-time ballot counter in Atlanta who found herself accused of being a'professional vote scammer' by the President.
Working with a team of researchers and reporters, Mark Bowden and Matthew Teague uncovernever-before-told accounts from the election officials fighting to do their jobs amid outlandishclaims and threats to themselves, their colleagues and their families.
The Steal is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial nine weeksand a portrait of the heroic individuals who did their duty and stood firm against theunprecedented, sustained attack on the US election system and ensured that every legal votewas counted and the will of the people prevailed.
