Scott Presler’s Pennsylvania Home Used as Voting Address by Out-of-State GOP Operatives

During the 2024 election cycle, three Republican operatives who were not members of Scott Presler’s family registered to vote at Presler’s Beaver County, Pennsylvania residence and cast ballots in the state. The individuals identified in voter-registration reviews are Florida-based consultant Heather Langley, Oklahoma-based social-media influencer Alfred Ashley (who posts as “Diligent Denizen”), and political activist Joe Petriella, who listed a Virginia address on campaign-contribution records before the election. All three listed Presler’s address as their residence when registering in Pennsylvania.

Scott Presler, a co-founder of the “Gays for Trump” group and a longtime promoter of the “Stop the Steal” conspiracy narrative, purchased a home in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 2024 and voted there himself. He has repeatedly claimed that Democratic officials and homeless shelters are registering ineligible voters, including an allegation that a local shelter with 100 beds had over 500 voters on its rolls.

• The *Patriot-News* reported that Langley listed Louisiana as her home state while using Presler’s Pennsylvania address, whereas The Bulwark’s voter-record review confirms her registration in Pennsylvania.

• No definitive legal determination has been made regarding whether the three individuals met Pennsylvania’s residency criteria; the available records show only their use of Presler’s address.

State election officials have indicated that they are reviewing the voter-registration anomalies uncovered in multiple counties, including Beaver County. Further investigation could result in audits of the affected voter rolls and potential enforcement actions if violations are confirmed.
