Did Republicans benefit from election irregularities in key battleground states?
According to the nonpartisan Election Truth Alliance (ETA), statistical analyses in Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and other states identified patterns that warrant further investigation.
In this episode of Lean to the Left, Bob Gatty speaks with ETA Executive Director Lilli McGregor about the organization’s findings, ongoing legal action in Pennsylvania, concerns surrounding voting-system vulnerabilities, and why Florida may be one of the most significant cases under review.
ETA emphasizes that its findings do not prove fraud occurred. However, the organization argues that audits, hand counts, and additional investigation are necessary to ensure public confidence in future elections.
The conversation also explores:
✅ Voting machine vulnerabilities
✅ Election audits and recounts
✅ Pennsylvania election lawsuit
✅ Florida voter registration concerns
✅ Election Security vs. voter fraud
✅ Why local election officials matter
✅ Protecting future elections
✅ What voters should know before the midterms
Whether you agree or disagree with ETA’s conclusions, this conversation raises important questions about election transparency, public confidence, and how democracies safeguard the vote.

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.
