David Daley

New Publicist! (Cole's on Maternity leave until June) kyra DeVoe@HC

David Daley's third book, "Antidemocratic," recounts the 50-year campaign by the Republican right to roll back the Voting Rights Act of 1965. A key participant in that movement was John Roberts, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Daley also authored "Ratf**ked," which addresses gerrymandering, and "Unrigged." David is the former editor-in-chief of Salon, and he frequently discusses voting right on CNN, NPR and MSNBC. He now lives in Massachusetts.
