Washington State GOP hoping to get enough signatures on an initiative that would require voter ID and proof of citizenship in order to vote, and Scott Presler, a popular conservative activist, is visiting the state to rally support for the initiative
The founder of Early Vote Action, a grassroots movement to register Republicans, will be in Battle Ground on Monday to promote a citizen-led effort that would require voter ID and proof of citizenship to vote.
Scott Presler will be visiting locations throughout Washington beginning on Sunday, according to a press release from the Washington State Republican Party.
His stop in Clark County is set for Monday, with a Super Signing Event at 10 a.m. at the Battle Ground Event Center, 912 East Main Street. The event is an effort to ask Washington residents to sign the initiative in order for it to become eligible for the November 2026 ballot. Statewide, the initiative will need more than 400,000 valid signatures.
“Washington’s been a playground for the radical left’s voter fraud factory for too long,” Presler noted on social media, announcing his trip to Washington. “I’m coming to fight — and we’re going to win.”
With some 2.4 million followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, Presler has been a force of nature, praised by Vice President JD Vance for his efforts to register Republicans to vote.
“Scott Presler inspires people to participate, but also to improve our election systems,” said WAGOP Chairman Jim Walsh, the initiative’s author and sponsor. “That’s what the Washington Voter ID Initiative does. And that’s what Presler is doing by supporting this initiative.”
Efforts nationwide align with the Trump Administration’s executive order to preserve and protect the integrity of American elections.
“Scott Presler’s visit brings the energy we need to push the Voter ID Initiative across the finish line,” said WAGOP Political Director Matt Brown. “We are fixing our election system, restoring trust in every ballot, and moving full throttle. All gas, no brakes. We will get this done.”
