The Big Truth About the Attack on Voting Right and Election Oversight: Unlike other 2020 Election books, this one dives deeply into methods being undertaken RIGHT NOW to undercut faith, belief, and effectiveness of elections, identifying 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election laws have been changed or election officials been hounded out of office, retired out of frustration/fatigue or been replaced by pro-Trump political figures.
A Book That Looks Forward to Future Elections: Examines the knowable truths of election management and the basics of a sane future of elections that fortify our government and preserve the genuine blessings of the American experiment.

Industry Reviews

"A second civil war? What once was the plot device of fiction writers now seems all too thinkable. In a deeply reported look at the corrosion of American democracy, Major Garrett and David Becker see a nation on a ‘springboard' to civil war-and describe what can be done to stop it, before it’s too late. The Big Truth is provocative and sobering, but it’s not hopeless."

—Susan Page, Washington Bureau chief, USA TODAY, and New York Times bestselling author of Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power

“The Big Truth shows with precision and depth why elections—including those held in 2020 that produced President Biden and sizable down-ballot Republican gains—can and should be believed. And it challenges all political actors to step back from the abyss of election denialism, which spread like wildfire in 2020. Ultimately, The Big Truth
