MISSING MILLIONS

Questions Swirl for Presler over hidden donations in an account in Vermont.

Scott Presler has built his brand on accountability and transparency.

Now critics are asking: What happened to the money?

Federal Election Commission records show that Early Vote Action PAC paid nearly $2.8 million during the 2024 election cycle to Information Cataloging Strategies LLC (ICS), a little-known Vermont company.

According to OpenSecrets, the payments accounted for roughly 93% of the PAC's vendor spending, including a single payment of more than $1 million for "GOTV Texting and Fundraising Consulting."

The money was disclosed. The recipient remains a mystery.

Despite receiving nearly $2.8 million, ICS appears to have little public footprint, no widely known website, and scant publicly available information about who owns or operates it.

That leaves several obvious questions:

• Who owns Information Cataloging Strategies LLC?

• Is it connected to Presler, his associates, or their families?

• What services justified more than $2.8 million in payments?

• Why did a Pennsylvania-focused voter-registration operation route nearly all vendor spending through an obscure Vermont LLC?

• Who ultimately received the money?

• 
  

No evidence has emerged of wrongdoing.

But for an organization that champions transparency and accountability, critics say donors deserve answers. Until they get them, the biggest question remains: Who got the $2.8 million?
