Scott Presler, founder of the nonprofit Early Vote Action (EVA), reportedly played a pivotal role in helping Donald Trump secure Pennsylvania's electoral votes. Through EVA, Presler implemented the Trump campaign's "Swamp the Vote" strategy, which focused on registering Republican voters and promoting early voting by mail or "by whatever means necessary," as described on the group's website.
"I didn’t invent the wheel. I just took the Democrats’ tools and used them to elect Republicans," Presler remarked with a chuckle.

After the anticipated "red wave" of 2022 failed to materialize, Presler, a Virginia-based activist, established EVA. He directed the group’s efforts in Pennsylvania, aiming to reclaim the state and secure its 19 electoral votes for Trump in 2024.
Who is Scott Presler?
Scott Presler, an activist, gained recognition for his grassroots efforts, frequently sharing videos of his mobilization on social media. Most recently, he urged Republicans to denounce a Bucks County commissioner who admitted to improperly tallying ballots for Democratic Senator Bob Casey.
Before entering politics, Presler faced difficulties finding a job after graduating from George Mason University. However, his determination and work ethic earned him the respect of many.
Presler gained prominence in Trump’s circle in 2024 when Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican National Committee, referred to him as "my friend" and invited him to speak at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he nearly faced a life-threatening incident.
According to Presler, his team achieved notable success, registering 50,000 Republicans, increasing early Republican voting by 10%, and flipping two historically Democratic counties to Republican control through voter registration efforts.
"You're going to hear Democrats say we didn’t have a ground game. Babe, we out-registered you every single week. We flipped your counties from blue to red. And we delivered the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for Donald J. Trump," Presler declared.
