53. I just skimmed part of one chapter.
I noticed that the author alleges election manipulation all the way back to 1988. This allegation correlates with my observations concerning one-percent-democratic-shifts.

In the '92 Florida election, George H.W. Bush's bid for a second term, Florida had 21 counties with this pattern: Duval, Volusia, Lee, Manatee, Escambia, St. Lucie, Okaloosa, Clay, Citrus, Putnam, Jackson, Levy, Suwanee, Hendry, Bradford, Washington, Baker, Holmes, Hardee, Gilchrist, Liberty. You might think they applied the percentages for the Democratic candidates from 1988 to 1992!

In '92 you had the Perot effect, in which large numbers defected from their parties to support Perot. The pattern in Florida would suggest that in these 21 counties 100% of those defectors came from the Republican voter pool. Can anyone believe that? I don't.
