An FBI FD-302 records a former 2020 Muskegon canvasser's account of signature-based compensation and alleged falsification by other workers while denying personal falsification.
The witness said she was paid according to the number of signatures obtained and recalled approximate payments of $300, almost $400, and $200. She said two or three applications were required to receive payment and that she was not offered bonuses.
“was paid based on how many signatures she received.”
“She was paid $300.00 once, almost $400.00 once and then $200.00.”
“She was required to submit 2-3 applications in order to get paid.”
The witness said she had only heard about others submitting falsified forms and believed workers did so to maximize the number of applications. She denied being directed to invent information, making up information herself, or submitting fake signatures.
“She only heard about people submitting falsified forms.”
“believed people would submit falsified applications so they could get as many applications as possible.”
“She never made up information to complete any forms.”
“She never submitted any applications with fake signatures.”
The FD-302 expressly states that it contains neither FBI recommendations nor conclusions, so the witness's allegations are not presented as final investigative findings.
“This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI.”
