Voter Roll Purges: What You Can Do Right Now

Voter Roll Purges: What You Can Do Right Now &Raquo; Alison Greene Pt 2 Sq 1024X1024 2Alison Greene Returns with Practical Steps to Protect Your Vote Before the Midterm Elections

What happens if you show up to vote on Election Day—and your name is no longer on the voter rolls?

Investigative journalist Alison Greene says that scenario is happening to more Americans than many realize. In this follow-up interview on the Lean to the Left podcast, Greene shifts the conversation from exposing alleged voter-roll irregularities to explaining what citizens can do now to protect their right to vote before the 2026 midterm elections.

This episode follows our earlier discussion of Greene’s investigation into so-called “ghost voters” and alleged voter registration anomalies. Now, she outlines practical steps voters can take to verify their registration, understand how provisional ballots work, and become involved in grassroots efforts to monitor voter rolls across the country.

Greene is building a nationwide volunteer network she calls “The Ghost Catchers,” aimed at identifying registration changes, helping voters confirm their status, and providing local support before Election Day.

Whether you agree with every conclusion Greene reaches or simply want to better understand the voter registration process, this conversation raises important questions about election administration and offers practical information every voter should know.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why checking your voter registration well before Election Day matters
  • What happens if your name is missing from the voter rolls
  • When a provisional ballot may—or may not—be counted
  • How citizens can volunteer to help monitor voter registration changes
  • Why Greene believes public participation is essential to election integrity

This episode is part of Lean to the Left’s Democracy & Election Integrity Series, examining voting rights, election administration, investigative journalism, whistleblower protections, and the institutions that support American democracy.

If you believe informed citizens strengthen democracy, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Bob Gatty Author, Podcaster, Blogger

For many years, Bob Gatty worked as a writer, editor, and communications consultant, based on the Washington, DC area with a focus on government and politics. He began at The Pittsburgh Courier, an African American weekly, covering crime and the courts. His salary was $55 per week before moving on to two local Pennsylvania dailies. At age 24, he began reporting for United Press International covering state politics in Pennsylvania and then New Jersey, where he was UPI’s state capitol bureau in Trenton.

Tempted by the allure of Washington, DC and big-time politics, at age 29 Bob became press secretary and chief of staff for two Congressmen – first Republican Edwin B. Forsythe, and then Democrat James J. Florio, who later became governor of New Jersey and until his recent death was a frequent podcast guest and co-host of Bob’s NFN Radio News podcast (now called Lean to the Left).

After seven years on Capitol Hill, Bob opened a communications business in Washington, first providing political media consulting to candidates and then freelance Washington coverage for business and trade magazines, plus creative communications services for trade and professional associations, including social media. This work involved articles and analyses of key governmental developments affecting businesses, such as the food and Health industries, retailing, and the environment.

His work as a communications consultant to trade and professional associations included launching and editing association publications, providing website content and social media assistance, and covering conferences and conventions.

Bob retired from G-Net Strategic Communications in 2016 and moved to Myrtle Beach, SC, where he launched his blog site, first called Not Fake News, now known as Lean to the Left.

Hijacked Nation
In August, 2020, Bob and co-author Chris Waldron, one of Lean to the Left's most loyal and prolific contributor, published "Hijacked Nation-Donald Trump's Attack on America's Greatness," a two-volume compilation of blogs regarding Trump's presidency and the consequences for our nation. A followup volume was published by Luna Global Media in September 2024. It is available at https://amzn.to/4ePrTF7 .

In all three volumes, blogs from Not Fake News and Lean to the Left create a virtual play-by-play of key actions of the Trump administration and Congress.
