As the 2020 election results rolled in, President Trump unleashed a relentless campaign to reverse his defeat. Urged on by a cabal of lawyers, media propagandists, and true believers, his supporters turned on their own colleagues, friends, and neighbors, launching a sustained attack on the integrity of the democratic process. With unprecedented access, Bowden and Teague expose the ugly, chaotic reality behind Trump's baseless claims of fraud, chronicling the heroic election officials who fought to uphold the will of the people.
