SideBar: Optimism in Action Welcomes David F. Walbert, Author of Stealing Elections, American Style

New book, Stealing Elections, American Style, reveals how today's election challenges are deeply rooted in history.

MONTEREY, CA, UNITED STATES, August 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SideBar: Optimism in Action podcast, a collaboration of KAZU 90.3 and Monterey College of Law, welcomes David F. Walbert, Author of Stealing Elections, American Style. As Americans wrestle with questions of election integrity and democracy's future, David Walbert’s new book, Stealing Elections, American Style, reveals how today's challenges are deeply rooted in history. Drawing on decades of litigating election cases and arguing before the Supreme Court, David Walbert combines gripping stories of stolen elections with a clear explanation of how elections are routinely rigged before a single vote is cast.
Walbert's path to the law was unconventional. He holds a physics degree from Stanford and a Master's in physics from the University of Michigan. Originally bound for a career as a physicist, his passion for social justice drew him to the law instead.

Walbert's 2026 book, Stealing Elections, American Style, is narrative-driven and steeped in historical context. He traces voter suppression and stolen elections from the country's founding to today — pairing stories of the most outlandish frauds with an explanation of how elections are stolen by disqualifying voters and rigging the rules. Drawing on decades of litigating voting cases, arguing before the Supreme Court, and teaching constitutional law, Walbert gives readers a deep grasp of today's voting battles.

Stealing Elections, American Style will be available September 3, 2026 and is available for pre-order through www.bloomsbury.com. David Walbert’s episode on SideBar: Optimism in Action goes live Tuesday, August 4, 2026 on www.kazu.org/sidebar.
