This is where the conversation turns directly to the ballot.

In Part 3, Greg Palast discusses his film Vigilantes, Inc., a documentary examining organized voter challenge operations and large-scale removals from voter rolls.

He argues that what looks like “routine election integrity enforcement” may, in some cases, operate as a modernized form of voter suppression, targeting specific demographics under the banner of legality.

In this episode, we discuss:

- The vigilante voter challenge system highlighted in the film

- Claims of more than 200,000 legal voters removed from rolls

- Allegations that communities of color, college students, young voters, and women are disproportionately impacted

- The historical parallels Greg draws to past suppression tactics

- Why powerful backers helped bring this story to a national audience

His current work involving the Osage Nation and projects connected to Killers of the Flower Moon

This is not a theoretical debate.

It’s about who participates in democracy and who gets challenged out of it.

Whether you agree with Greg’s conclusions or not, the evidence he presents demands attention.

This episode closes the Investigating Power series with its most direct question:

If the rules are technically legal…Does that make the outcome fair?
