False Registration Claims

Scott Presler Voter Registrations Either Duplicates or Changes to Political Parties Are Meaningless

Many Scott Presler Voter Registrations merely change political parties or are duplicates. In the below post you can clearly see a screenshot of the form proving it. They aren’t even registering voters. They are merely switching party affiliations. The only thing that switching party affiliations can flip is a primary.

Scott Presler Falsely Claims to Have “Flipped” Luzerne County Pensylvannia

On September 23, 2024 Scott Presler posted on Instagram “WE DID IT! IT IS DONE! We flipped Luzerne County, Pennsylvania…” but the 2020 Luzerne County Election Results reveal that Donald Trump easily defeated Joe Biden in 2020 by over 22,056 votes and over 14 points. The margin of victory for Trump over Hillary Clinton in 2016 was even higher in Luzerne County at 20 points. The Chair of the Luzerne County Democrats Thomas Shubilla admits many Democrats there do vote Republican saying Luzerne County “was voting that way for awhile”.

Luzerne County Election Director Emily Cook told local paper the Times Leader in September that “many of these applications the bureau was receiving were duplicates from voters submitting new applications even though they already are registered. ” Cook said “the 4,100 figure also includes voters seeking party or address changes and is not solely new registrations.”

Net New Registrations in Pennsylvania Actually Decreased from Prior Cycles

In addition to the below article proving that Presler’s activities with the Amish were ineffective and unimpactful, this author has received multiple reports of falsifying of statistics and numbers of doors knocked, registration numbers, and much more from Presler’s Early Vote Action  – all with the goal of deceiving donors to keep the money flowing. Why would they want the root cause of election fraud solved when that would only turn off the flow of money to their coffers?

Public Election Data Shows Scott Presler’s Efforts with Amish Voters Only an Ineffective PR Stunt

The entire state of Pennsylvania is home to no more than 93,000 Amish with only 46,500 over 18 and eligible to vote. According to the Young Center and Discover Lancaster site, the total Amish population in Lancaster County and Chester County is at most 43,640 (likely only 38,400 live in Lancaster County) with approximately 11,000-17,000 being eligible voters as more than half of the Amish population is estimated to be under 18 years of age. According to multiple sources including @Grok “Presler claimed to register 180,000 Amish voters in Lancaster alone, but fact-checking shows this is likely inflated, as the total Amish population in Pennsylvania is far smaller, and typical Amish voting rates are less than 10%.” and “A widely circulated X post on that date claimed, “180,000 registered New Amish voters in Lancaster, Pennsylvania,” crediting Presler’s efforts with the organization Early Vote Action. This post gained significant traction, being reposted over 14,000 times. Similarly, a Threads post around the same time echoed this number, thanking Presler for his work.”

Scott Presler does not refute the false “Registered 180,000 Amish” claim and thanks the person making the claim.

After being called out on the lie, Scott Presler revised it down saying “I love this, but in the spirit of being accurate, there are only 90,000 Amish statewide in Pennsylvania. We are registering a lot of Amish to vote, but I think this is a little generous.”

According to Leadstories “Amy Gulli , a Pennsylvania Department of State spokesperson,….directed us to current voter registration broken down by counties 

in a spreadsheet posted on Voting and Election Statistics | Department of State | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (archived here) and also shared an Excel database of “Current Vote Stats” by county as of October 28, 2024. According to this data, registered (ALL) Republican voters in Lancaster County increased by 10,546 between January 1, 2024, and October 28, 2024.”

The percentage of new Amish voters of the 10,546 would be very small. Yet Presler spent major time and efforts with Amish voters and advertised it made a big impact claiming “Our Amish voter registration helped to deliver Pennsylvania for Trump.”

According to Ben Fitzkee “Lastly, the Amish began voting in higher numbers in recent elections so the possibility that there’s more than a few thousand unregistered eligible voters is mathematically impossible.” @Missiongirl4 called out Presler saying “I’m not angry at Presler for exaggerating how many Amish voters he registered. GOTV in PA is lucrative and he got a new house and car. Many people are gullible including wealthy donors who don’t have time to research what is actually going on.”
