Mr. Book just finished How To Steal A Presidential Election, by Lawrence Lessig and Matthew Seligman.

This book, by two constitutional law professors, discusses the legal means by which a presidential election can be stolen and accesses the chances of it actually happening, either in the upcoming election, or the future. The means discussed was the VP claims to have exclusive power to count the votes (the one scenario they give no chance of happening), electors to be coerced, by threats, to flip their votes, a governor certifies results that go against the actual popular vote in the state, delaying the resolution of the election and then have the legislature decide the outcome and a state deciding to make the legislature the final judge, regardless of how the vote goes or even without letting the people vote.

I give this book an A+.

Goodreads requires grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an A+ equates to 5 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).

This review has been posted at my blog, Mr. Book’s Book Reviews, and Goodreads.

Mr. Book originally finished reading this on February 13, 2024. It is normally way too early to reread a book, but he decided to reread it due to both its timeliness and in order to be able to write this review. He finished rereading it on October 24, 2024.
