Lionshare Publishing LLC Announces January 2026 Release of The Unseen Swing
Washingtoner/10313534

SEATTLE - Washingtoner -- Seattle, WA – Lionshare Publishing LLC today announced the January 7, 2026, release of The Unseen Swing: The Untold Story of America's Post-Night Ballots by Matthys van Leeuwen, a gripping narrative non-fiction exposé that unveils the quiet erosion of trust in U.S. elections. Drawing on the author's expertise as a former fraud investigator and statistics lecturer, the book dissects the "unseen swing"—a statistical anomaly where late mail-in ballots consistently shift outcomes in one direction, turning Election Night triumphs into weeks-long tragedies.

In a nation still reeling from past elections, van Leeuwen's voice cuts through the noise. A Dutch immigrant who traded red-pencil rituals for Washington State's envelope-stuffed system, he chronicles his personal awakening: from church-basement cheers that sour in the dark, to warehouse ghosts and "chasing ballots" after hours. Contrasting America's binary battles with the Netherlands' multi-party coalitions, The Unseen Swing argues that universal mail-in voting—meant as mercy—has become a loophole-riddled canyon, inviting exploitation under the guise of inclusion.

"This isn't about partisanship; it's about preservation," said van Leeuwen. "I crossed an ocean for a democracy that roared in daylight, not one that whispers in the shadows. The data screams for reform—close the door at eight, reclaim the booth—before trust bleeds out for good."

At 160 pages, the book blends forensic analysis with memoiristic fire, featuring vivid scenes from 2025's races and a clarion call in its Epilogue: "Why Mail-In Voting Fails America." Early praise includes: "A wake-up siren for our fractured republic—van Leeuwen's precision and passion demand we listen" (Cliff McCrath, five-time NCAA champion coach).

Available January 7, 2026, in paperback, e-book, and audiobook (ISBN-13: 978-969-589-249-7). Pre-order at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDGBSBCZ . For review copies, interviews, or events, contact: lionsharepublish@gmail.com.
