An FBI FD-302 summarizes a December 2023 interview with a former 2020 canvasser about recruitment, compensation, registration practices, and political-flyer work.
The interviewee said he was hired in 2020 to locate people who were not registered and persuade them to register. He described being recruited through another worker and being shown that the work could pay $700–$800 per week.
“He was tasked to find people who were not registered to vote and to do whatever he could to get those people to sign up to vote.”
“would make $700-$800 a week.”
The interviewee denied ever fraudulently completing an application and said he was paid hourly rather than per application. He also said there was no per-shift or daily quota.
“was never asked to, nor did he, ever fraudulently fill out any applications.”
“was paid hourly, not by the number of applications.”
“There was not a quota for each shift/day.”
The interviewee said he knew that some people received more money for more signatures and that some had friends sign duplicate applications. These are the witness's observations, not an FBI conclusion.
“knew some people got more money for more signatures.”
“Some people had their friends sign duplicate applications.”
The interviewee said some workers thought the organization worked for Joe Biden and that workers not obtaining registrations could be assigned to distribute pro-Biden flyers. He described that combination as strange and said he quit; he also confirmed that he had signed a canvasser contract.
“were tasked to go door to door to hang fliers saying to vote for Biden.”
“It was weird to find people who needed to register to vote, then to put up fliers for people to vote for Biden.”
“confirmed he filled out and signed a Canvasser Contract”
