In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6 President Donald Trump and his allies
fought to reverse the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states - Arizona Georgia Michigan
Nevada Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - Trump's supporters claimed widespread voter fraud. Caught
up in this effort were scores of activists lawyers judges and state and local officials
among them Rohn Bishop enthusiastic chairman of the Fond Du Lac Wisconsin Republican Party
who would be branded a traitor for refusing to say his state's election was tainted and Ruby
Freeman a part-time ballot counter in Atlanta who found herself accused of being a
'professional vote scammer' by the President. Working with a team of researchers and reporters
Mark Bowden and Matthew Teague uncover never-before-told accounts from the election officials
fighting to do their jobs amid outlandish claims and threats to themselves their colleagues
and their families. The Steal is an engaging in-depth report on what happened during those
crucial nine weeks and a portrait of the heroic individuals who did their duty and stood firm
against the unprecedented sustained attack on the US election system and ensured that every
legal vote was counted and the will of the people prevailed.
