I am surprised that this book is not getting more traction. Ken Block was hired by the Trump Administration to prove voter fraud in 6 states. He did not find any proof of that. However, what he did find proof of was that Trump is actually losing support of many Republicans and the amount of misinformation that is being spread to polarize our elections, harming minorities and truly, all Americans alike. Thank you to Ken Block, Forefront Books, and NetGalley for this ARC.
Ken Block's Disproven is a salient investigation into how myths are perpetuated and public perception is blinded by this misinformation often to perilous ends. Ranging from a variety of scientific myths and conspiracy theories, Block explains why people believe false information and how such sets of beliefs linger on despite clear evidence to the contrary.
This book is relevant in regards to todays issues where misinformation is spread rampantly everyday.
Ken Block, the author of "Disproven," was hired by the Trump Campaign to investigate the 2020 election results to uncover evidence of significant voter fraud. He found none, but he failed to discuss the after-action investigations that were done by a former Supreme Court justice in Wisconsin, the research that was conducted in Pennsylvania in connection with the documentary film "2000 Mules, ' or the scholarly investigation done by John Lott, also done in the Keystone state or the scientific work that has been done by Robert Kaplan regarding the negative impact that Google has on fair election results, etc. In short, Mr. Block looked looked at only some of the evidence.
