An FBI FD-302 records a December 2023 interview in which a man first denied voter-registration work, then recalled a one-week 2020 canvassing job and described submitting friends' or relatives' names without collecting registrations.
The interviewee initially denied ever working in voter registration and said he had experienced identity theft, suggesting someone might have used his information to obtain a job. This was his initial account before he called the agent back.
“has never worked in any job trying to get people to register to vote.”
“has had issues with identity theft in the past”
Agents explained that the FBI was investigating the company rather than specifically investigating the interviewee and read information from a canvasser contract to him. An agent note says one Social Security account number digit was initially misread; once corrected, the information was confirmed as accurate.
“Information on the Canvasser Contract was read to”
“initially misread one digit in the SSAN, then when corrected was confirmed to be the correct information.”
On December 15, the interviewee called back and said he remembered working for about one week in 2020 for a company that tasked him with finding people to register. He said he was paid hourly, not by signature, and quit after about a week.
“he remembered working for a company for about one week in 2020 where he was tasked with finding people to register to vote.”
“was paid by the hour, not by the signature; he could not remember how he got paid.”
The interviewee attributed to a friend the instruction that names could simply be made up for payment. He then said he sat in his car during shifts and wrote down a friend or relative's name so he would have something to submit on his clipboard, while saying he never actually collected names from prospective registrants.
“said you can just make up names on the form and get paid.”
“just sit in his car the whole shift and would put down a name of a friend or relative in order to have something to turn in with his clipboard.”
