Conservative voter-registration organizer Scott Presler urges Mainers who witness suspected election misconduct to file formal reports before Election Day, warning that social media posts alone won’t prompt an investigation.
Speaking in a video recorded in Sanford and shared by The Maine Wire, Presler said he had heard concerns about potentially fraudulent activity in Maine as voters prepare to decide hotly contested congressional races.
"Now, I'm hearing there may be some possibly deceptive activities going on in the state of Maine," Presler said. "We know that the elections are going to be very close, not only in the 2nd Congressional District, but for the United States Senate seat."

Presler did not identify a specific incident or present evidence of fraud in the recording. His message focused on getting people with information to submit reports for review before voting concludes.
"Don't just post about it. Don't just tag me. Don't just tell social media," he said.
Instead, Presler directed viewers to ProtectTheVote.com, which includes a "Report Fraud" link. The website promotes the Republican National Committee's election-integrity efforts and recruits volunteers for poll watching, legal assistance, and work at the polls.
"If you have seen, if you have heard, if you have witnessed, if you have experienced, you must file a report," Presler said.

He told viewers that submitting information through the website would allow the RNC to pursue incidents before Election Day.
Presler, who founded Early Vote Action in January 2023, has built his organization around registering Republican voters and encouraging them to vote early, absentee, by mail, or on Election Day.
His appeal occurs amid questions raised by The Maine Wire's reporting on interpreters assisting voters during early voting at Lewiston City Hall. Those concerns center on whether some aides have tried to influence voters rather than translate or help them mark their ballot.

Shenna Bellows said her office "reviewed" the protest, but chose not to pursue disciplinary action.

Maine law lets voters who need help reading or completing a ballot request an aide. It also expressly prohibits that aide from telling a voter how to vote or otherwise influencing the voter's choices.
"Once a vote is already cast, once a vote is already counted, it is exceptionally hard to undo that vote," Presler said.
