Grassroots activist Scott Presler has been warning Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) that if the GOP leader failed to pass the SAVE America Act by the end of April, that he — Pressler — would actively oppose the reelection of Thune-favorite Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).
The incumbent senator is locked in a tight primary race runoff with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, with Paxton pushing Cornyn hard to ensure the voter integrity bill is passed.
Thune has been dragging his feet in what appears more and more to be an attempt to run out the clock on the legislation, claiming he does not have the votes to pass the bill, OR to nuke the filibuster to proceed with a simple majority. The usual suspects, Sens. Susan Collins (R-MN), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and Thom Tillis (R-NC) stand in the breach, preventing action on a bill widely supported by the American people.
True to his work, Presler shared a post on X explaining to donors that they can not only request refunds from WinRed made in support of Cornyn, but also to a WinRed questionnaire signaled Thune’s backing for requiring proof of citizenship in federal voter registration.
“After teaching Republicans how to request a REFUND for donations to WinRed, I’m receiving messages from voters across the country: ‘I donated $100 [b/c I thought Thune was going to listen to the voters]. I just called Win Red and secured my refund. Thank you,’” Prelser said in the post.

Presler, who has fought as hard as anyone to protect voter integrity, is currently in Alaska, where he is cranking up pressure on Murkowski and the state’s dubious Ranked Choice Voting manipulation:

Senator Murkowski won’t pass the SAVE America Act, so it’s time to visit the 49th state.

President Donald J. Trump did his part to turn the screws on political class Republicans in the Senate, posting Thursday on X: “How much abuse can the Republican Senate take from the Radical Left Lunatics in the form of Democrat Senators, before they BLOW UP (TERMINATE!) THE FILIBUSTER, and approve things at a record clip, including The Save America Act, that would be unthinkable without the Filibuster Termination??? The Dems will do it on the first hour of their first day. DO NOT BE STUPID!!!”
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
