Scott Presler’s Wednesday remarks on the WarRoom really exposed the critical role grassroots action plays in shaping the upcoming election, particularly in Pennsylvania, where his organization, Early Vote Action, is heavily involved.

As he discussed the increasing struggles for the Biden-Harris administration, Presler emphasized to the WarRoom audience the necessity of proactive voter engagement and outlined several actionable steps that supporters can take to ensure a successful outcome for Republicans.

1. Voter Registration Drive
One of Presler’s key points was the importance of voter registration, particularly in Pennsylvania, where Republicans are currently out-registering Democrats across all 67 counties. He highlighted a significant gap: “30 percent of Pennsylvania hunters are not registered to vote.” Presler urged supporters to visit local gun stores and ranges, leaving voter registration forms for customers. This simple action can significantly increase voter turnout among demographics traditionally supporting conservative candidates.

2. Engage Local Election Boards
Presler stressed the importance of directly engaging with local election boards to ensure the integrity of the election process. He listed four critical questions that voters should ask their County Board of Elections:

Verify Voter Rolls: “Can you tell us that not a single illegal alien or non-citizen is on the voter rolls within your respective county?” Presler emphasized the need to ensure that only eligible citizens are registered to vote.

Prevent Ballot Shortages: “What is your plan to make sure that not a single polling location runs out of paper ballots on Election Day?” He referenced the ballot shortages in Luzerne County during the 2022 election as a cautionary example.

Ensure Machine Security: “Can you make us certain that these machines are not connected to the internet?” Presler underscored the importance of protecting voting machines from potential tampering.

Backup Generators: “What is your plan to make sure that there are backup generators?” Presler pointed out the risk of power outages disrupting the voting process, especially in areas that rely on on-demand ballot printing.

According to Presler, these actions are vital for preventing the “shenanigans” that have historically plagued election days, including ballot shortages, delays in election results, and concerns about mail-in ballot fraud.

3. Check Your Voter Status
Presler issued a strong call to action for voters to verify their voter registration status, especially in states with closed primaries like Pennsylvania, California, and Arizona. He urged voters to ensure they are registered as active voters, registered at their current address, and affiliated with their preferred party.

“Please check your voter status,” he implored, noting that many voters are surprised to find they are either not registered or listed under the wrong party, which could disenfranchise them in critical primary elections.

4. Support for Trump’s Campaign
Presler also advised the Trump campaign to continue focusing on key issues that resonate with voters, particularly the economy, illegal immigration, and peace. He praised the recent Trump campaign advertisement that used Kamala Harris’s own words against her, describing it as “brilliant.” Presler argued that the Republican Party should position itself as the true “pro-woman” party by addressing issues like crime, illegal immigration, and economic challenges that disproportionately affect women. “Democrats are putting women first—into their graves,” he stated, highlighting the tragic case of women killed by illegal immigrants.

5. Financial Support and Volunteer Engagement
Finally, Presler emphasized the need for financial support to expand his efforts in Pennsylvania and other battleground states. He invited supporters to donate via his website, Early Vote Action, and encouraged them to reach out to him directly if they wished to volunteer. “I need your financial support. If you want me to hire more people across Pennsylvania, please visit my website,” he urged.

Presler’s remarks provided a comprehensive guide for grassroots activism leading up to the election. His focus on voter registration, election integrity, and proactive engagement with local election boards reflects a strategic approach to overcoming the challenges Republicans face in securing electoral victories.

By following these actionable steps, supporters can play a crucial role in shaping the election’s outcome and ensuring that their voices are heard.

You should call/email your county Board of Elections & ask 4 things:

1️⃣ Can you verify — w/ certainty — that not a single illegal alien is registered to vote w/in that county?

2️⃣ What is your plan to make sure that your county’s polling locations don’t run out of paper ballots…
