“The Big Truth- Upholding democracy in the age of the Big Lie”
by Major Garrett and David Becker
From the Publisher- When a seven million vote margin of victory and 306 electoral votes pointed to Joe Biden as the victor in the 2020 Presidential Election, Trump-fueled conspiracy theories – or the Big Lie – exploded.
In “The Big Truth,” Garrett and Becker completely upend Trump’s Big Lie that has infected the Far Right by revealing concrete evidence proving that 2020 may have been the most secure US election ever. Profiles of and interviews with key swing state election officials, like Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Thomas Freitag, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, election director, show that these guardians of democracy ran fair and accurate elections.
Garrett and Becker go beyond analyzing the key players in all six swing states, the pre-election litigation that clarified the rules for both parties, and the fully auditable and verifiable ballots used. They lay bare the methods being undertaken right now to undercut faith, belief, and effectiveness of elections. In addition, they identify the places where the most dire actions have been taken since 2020 – where election laws have been changed; or election officials been hounded out of office, retired out of frustration/fatigue, or been replaced by pro-Trump political figures.
Therein lies The Big Truth we face in the 2022 midterm election and beyond – when honest election workers of all parties will face lies, threats, abuse, and vilification, and the manipulation of voting laws and election boards threaten the sanctity of our democracy.
