SHOTS FIRED: Scott Pressler exposes alleged voter fraud in…

 

Conservative activist Scott Presler is drawing national attention to Minnesota’s voter registration system after highlighting what he says is a serious vulnerability in the state’s same-day registration process.

 

“One person can vouch for the residency of eight voters by simply signing a form,” Presler said. “This law is insane. It’s an invitation to fraud, and it must be reversed.”

Presler said he was motivated to look into Minnesota’s voter law after seeing rising concerns about fraud in the state. “I thought, ‘Why not use this opportunity to expose potential voter fraud as Minnesota is trending?’” he said.

Of the voter “vouching” policy, Presler commented, “Does this allow for potential fraud and abuse of our elections? Absolutely—especially when you consider that MN has same‑day voter registration.”

Presler noted the scale of same-day registration in Minnesota and linked it to past close election results. He pointed out that former Democratic Sen. Al Franken won his 2008 contest by a narrow margin while hundreds of thousands of voters took advantage of same-day registration.


Presler’s activism has drawn attention after federal election authorities demanded Minnesota turn over records related to same-day registrations and vouching. “WOW! This is huge. Thank you, so, so much,” he said.

The request sought unredacted records pertaining to 2024 election cycles and raised concerns about registrations and votes accepted on the basis of vouching.

Presler’s public push has come amid broader conservative criticism of Minnesota election policies, including how the 2023 law allowing state driver’s licenses regardless of immigration status intersects with voter ID requirements.

“A driver’s license does not prove U.S. citizenship,” Presler said. “Combine that with same-day registration and vouching, and you have a system designed to be abused.”

The Minnesota voter vouching policy, which has been in place for more than 50 years, allows a registered voter to sign an oath on behalf of others without requiring traditional photo ID — a fact that has alarmed conservatives concerned about election integrity.

Presler said he sees the policy as part of a broader pattern of lax oversight in the state. “We’ve seen daycare fraud, welfare fraud, and now election fraud. The same people pushing these laws are the ones benefiting from the chaos.”

 

Presler emphasized that his campaign is focused on accountability. “I didn’t start this because of politics,” he said. “I started it because fraud undermines trust in elections. If we don’t stop it, it won’t matter who you vote for—your vote may not even count.”

Presler also highlighted the risks of urban precincts where same-day registration and vouching could be exploited at scale. “One person can influence eight votes. Think about the scale if dozens or hundreds of voters do this. It becomes a tool for mass fraud.”

Presler’s remarks have drawn attention from federal election officials, some of whom are now reviewing Minnesota’s registration records for irregularities.
