MAGA Activist Sued Over Failed Bid to Remove Judges
The complaint says Presler and Early Vote Action failed to report spending and donors after campaigning against retention of three state Supreme Court justices.
- Public Citizen filed a complaint yesterday alleging MAGA Activist Scott Presler and Early Vote Action violated Pennsylvania campaign finance laws by failing to disclose spending during the 2025 election.
- During the 2025 campaign, Presler sought to unseat three state Supreme Court Justices, an effort requiring public financial disclosures for expenses exceeding $250 under state law.
- Undisclosed expenditures allegedly included paid staff and media purchases, violating state law requiring disclosure of all contributors who give more than $50.
- State officials confirmed receipt of the complaint, which could result in fines of up to $5,000, though the department does not comment on active investigations.
- Previously, Public Citizen filed complaints regarding Presler's lobbyist registration, while the activist continues gaining national attention for requesting noncitizen jury rejection lists to cross-check voter rolls.
