The political activist Scott Presler is once again in the news for successfully having registered yet another voter in Pennsylvania. Cultivating the image of an activist for the grassroots, Presler took to social media to express his delight with the following words: “Registered another voter! By being outside of a polling location with voter registration forms, we were prepared to register this brand new voter. +1 in Pennsylvania. My heart sings!” The post carried with it a very captivating photo of the occasion, capturing the zeal of his team in working on the issue.

Almost all responses to his post were overwhelmingly positive, showering Presler with compliments for his dedication in getting the people to the polls. One commented, “Thanks for all you are doing! So glad you are one of us!” Another added, “We love you Scott! 😍” These responses go to show how Presler has created a great rapport with his followers, for they are in awe of his unrelenting fight for conservatism.
However, there was also negativity. When a detractor raised the question of whether Presler was accepted by the conservative movement, verbal sparks flew in the reply. “Why? Because he’s gay? If that’s the reason then you don’t know Anything about the ‘Trump lot,’” a supporter retorted. More chimed in to say that his sexual orientation really has nothing to do with political work: “We don’t care what someone’s sexuality is, we just don’t want it forced on our Children,” one user said, referring to a mostly conservative outlook on personal freedoms rather than political activism.
The discussion took a far from interesting turn once another comment came in: “Republicans love Scott! Why wouldn’t we? He is a great person, has conservative values is patriotic and a hard worker.” The thought was affirmed by many users, with them reaffirming the idea that what Presler works for is far more important for this movement than any differences that may exist.)
A name became well-known for Presler with his electric voter registration maneuvers, usually hitting crucial swing states such as Pennsylvania, where a single vote may determine the outcome of a tight election. His methods, from being present on location, engaging in one-on-one conversation with potential voters, and even clever publicity through social media, have worked for him, whereas controversy seems to cling to him.
Discussion in the tweets began to revolve around conservative politics, the concepts of inclusiveness, and the evolving face of the Republican base. “The ‘lot’ is a diverse group of people who want the same things-American dreams and a strong Constitutional Republic,” claimed one user, pointing to how much more diverse that movement truly is compared to what the critics assume.
Presler remains a key player in conservative activism, albeit amidst some negative criticism here and there, with a following that appreciates and embraces his action-oriented approach. The latest voter registration victory in Pennsylvania by Presler is but a single instance of Presler making waves in the political arena, one voter at a time.
